Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In the Coral Harbour area, we built sites at the native points where the Thule culture sites are, and we have received two cruise ships in the last five years. They have been very successful visits, and in fact, when they came back the following year almost 50 per cent of the previous visitors came too, and also, they were very, very interested in seeing Christopher Falls, which is very close to Coral Harbour. You have concentrated on a visitors' centre at Rankin, a visitors' centre at Arviat, and although I am happy that Thule sites and that kind of tourist attractions have been developed, I was wondering why there are none of that nature at the historic sites in the Coral Harbour area. Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, the visitors that have been coming in by cruise ship, although it has been sporadic, have been pleased with those particular points of interest, and there has not been a need identified yet to do anything further at those locations. If the community and the Member feel that there is a need to address that issue, then we will be glad to look at that too, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Minister, I would like to know what is coming home that is worth $90,000 to Coppermine? What have we been missing all of these years?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the project calls for the development of a major exhibit which will interpret the heritage of the Copper Inuit, and show the links between the people and the environment.
The exhibit is to be located at various buildings around the community; for example, the co-op and the airport. A site will be determined to act as the focal point for the exhibit. The display will feature a full-scale reconstruction of a Thule stone and wood house. Reproductions of native copper tools and articles of daily life will surround and fill the house. A display of crafts will also be included in the exhibit. It is anticipated that this will serve as a major attraction in the region. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Mr. Chairman, in all probability they will be reproductions, so if there is any loss we will not be losing some part of the Thule heritage. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have one more question for the Minister. Mount Pelly Park, in Cambridge Bay, I would like to know what is going to be happening on Mount Pelly? What do you plan to do up there?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mount Pelly, Mr. Chairman, is an area of natural scenic beauty with historical significance. Development in this area will provide an attraction which will entice visitors to extend their visit. We hope there is going to be a lot of use made by the local people, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The region that I come from, Mr. Minister, has just as much to offer as the region of Yellowknife, if I can compare, your $375,000 for Reid Lake, Fred Henne, and Prelude Lake. You have $375,000, and for my region you only have $204,000. If you take off the Copper Inuit exhibit -- it is dismantled after a while -- why do you not just build a permanent visitors' centre or a little museum for our community --that will attract the tourists -- not dismantle it and use it only for the summer months?

The Member is correct, there may not have been as much done there, in that particular region, as for other regions; however, we are working in that region now, Mr. Chairman. If the community, whatever community we are working with, decides that it would need an interpretive centre, as opposed to a display here and there, then we are prepared to talk to them about that, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.
