Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you, Mr. Minister. Mr. Chairman, Gjoa Haven is situated on an island, King William Island, and King William Island is unique in a historic sense. The Franklin expedition is believed to have wintered in that area and a range of visitors have come there. I had the opportunity to meet with the Gjoa Haven hamlet council some time ago and they indicated to me, and I'm sure to the Minister as well, that they would like to have some control over the number of visitors that come to that area without consulting the community. I wonder if the honourable Minister knows if there's a way, or a process, that would allow the community to be consulted when visitors come into that area. The community is also interested, Mr. Chairman, in having some control, even going as far as they would like to know if they could form a park in that area? I wonder if the honourable Minister is aware of the interest that was shown by the community of Gjoa Haven? Thank you.
