Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Economic Development and Tourism. As I indicated in my Member's statement today, there is a need to bring people together in the Deh Cho region to discuss economic development. I also discussed this with many businesses in my constituency and I also discussed this with the Minister himself. The Deh Cho has never had a regional economic development conference. I am aware that other conferences have been held in other regions and major centres. As you all know, this type of conference will require extraordinary funds. Will the Minister of Economic Development and Tourism commit to supporting an economic

development conference in the Deh Cho region? Thank you.
