Thank you. I wanted to say about Expo that my understanding was to go over there and show the world what we could do. That way the idea was to show them how we do things. We spent a great deal of money doing that. From what I am hearing and from happened there we sure showed them how we do things.

I think it was a heck of a mess, Mr. Minister. I guess one of the ideas to go over there was to see if we could show the people how we do things and maybe attract them to come visit us. Maybe by showing how we do things over there, maybe that is the reason why we do not get any visitors from over there now.
---Laughter
That is the point I am trying to make, Mr. Chairman. We went over there. Some of the people who went over there, my constituents, do not want to talk about it. I do not know why but they do not really want to talk about the experience there.
When I was first getting involved in politics I was the chief and I used to meet with the elders. One of the things they always drilled into me was whenever you are going to do something, you try to best you can. That was the advice I was given and I try to follow that. My advice here to this government is listen to that advice and try the best we can. In this case I do not think that happened because of the money was spent and the way things happened. We certainly did not try the best we can, I do not think, because of the situation we find ourselves in today. These are the comments I wanted to make at this time, Mr. Chairman. Mahsi.
