Mr. Speaker, on January 19, 2009, former minister Jim Prentice said that the Mackenzie Valley pipeline was a key part of the government's northern strategy and that the government was prepared to contribute to infrastructure and pre-construction costs as well as sharing of risks and returns.
The National Energy Board made its decision in support of the pipeline on December 16, 2010 and northerners were anxiously expecting cabinet approval last December.
If this project, which is of national interest, is a priority of that regime, why has there been nothing but delay since the NEB decision?

John Duncan Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development
Mr. Speaker, there is a normal process involved in getting to the order in council. It is in process. The member can expect an announcement in the coming weeks.

(at least they're talking about the Mackenzie Pipeline….still waiting for the "Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity" to be signed)
Am sure it will be soon (IMO).
