Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Actually, I would like clarification on behalf of my colleague, Mr. Antoine, and it is in the definitive objectives on page 17-5, the second paragraph is to assist the development of packaged tours from Nahanni Ram, a northwest passage destination in conjunction with two operators. I wonder if the Minister could put on record exactly what this means, who is involved, and what kind of local involvement there is? Has this being done in conjunction with external operators, has a consultation taken place with the community of Nahanni Butte, etc.? This is just on behalf of my colleague, Mr. Antoine.

Yes, Mr. Chairman, I would like to assure the Member that yes, there is involvement. The idea is to establish a data base system of lodges and outfitters to enforce licensing and regulations, to assist in developing package tours for the Nahanni Ram and northwest passage destinations, and to complete interior exhibits for the visitor's centre in Baker Lake and Arviat.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just before we get into detail, I had a question I would like to request of the department. In the opening statement yesterday, the Premier noted that the department has a comprehensive arts and crafts marketing strategy developed. I was wondering if this strategy could be made available to all Members?
