Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Economic Development and Tourism concerning the shortfall in Seville, otherwise known as Expo '92. Mr. Speaker, on March 11, 1991, the former Minister of Economic Development and Tourism tabled the preliminary business plan for the N.W.T. facility in the Canadian pavilion at Expo '92. This plan forecasts sales of over $5.4 million, including $3 million of this for the sale of food and beverages. In rough calculations this would have translated to sales of approximately $16,000 per day at the restaurant. Mr. Speaker, would the Minister please inform this House how accurate his department was in forecasting the levels of food and beverages to be sold at our facility in Seville? In fact, have we even reached 50 percent of our original projections?
