Mr. Speaker, on March 6, 1991, I asked the Minister responsible for Economic Development a lot of questions about our participation in Expo, in Seville. I spent about an hour and a half wondering why we were going. My question to the Minister of Economic Development is, since he was the SCOF chairman at that time and supportive of this project, does he expect the predictions of Mr. Wray will in fact emerge as Mr. Wray had predicted; that we would be putting $800,00 into our producers of arts and craft in the Northwest Territories; $1.4 million in salaries to employees; $650,000 into the hands of food producers; and we would have a net benefit of $2.8 million into the territorial economy? Does he think those predictions, on the basis of his current information, will be borne out?
