Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I want to point out, that dollar value represents about 34 per cent of the amount of total sales in the restaurant. I am just astounded that the procedures used could be so far out of whack for projecting the volume of food stuff that might be sold. I do not have any more questions, Mr. Chairman. I just wanted to express dismay over the situation where the Minister knew there was some concern in this House that this was going to lose a lot of money for the Northwest Territories, those concerns had been expressed by a number of Members. We were assured that proper controls would be in place and that this would be looked after. I am not convinced that the sort of tightness that we had expected from the Minister when he knew the number of concerns that were being expressed about the operation were there. I really find it hard to understand. I guess, Mr. Chairman, it is all after the fact and I can only hope we have learned a great deal from this lesson. I know I certainly have my fingers crossed that we sell a lot more goods in Europe and that we see more tourists, but to be honest I think it has been a gross overexpenditure for what the potential value is for us to receive. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
