Essentially just about how the Mackenzie Valley line proponents would like to see more support from the Canadian government, particularly in the way of negotiating favorable financial terms.
There is a good point, and it's been raised before, in that the US government has provided upwards of $30 billion in loan guarantees to get an Alaska line off the ground, and our own government has so far held back.
Sadly, at this juncture it's likely a prudent thing to do, since we don't know as of yet just what the Joint Review Panel is going to recommend. That report will likely have a big impact on costs, and we probably all need to know where the producers stand before we know how many tax dollars will be required to support the project.
