Whatever the majority of the House prefers, Mr. Chairman.

I think I said when I first ran for office that I believed in the politics of inclusion. Hopefully, I've demonstrated that over the last two years with some of my initiatives. I want to assure the honourable Member that this particular expenditure and program will be discussed, not only with the MLAs but with the industry, itself. Now, as I said to you earlier, there is a review currently under way assessing the zone associations, their impact, and their ability to represent the industry. I think I've been pretty clear that my preference would be to see two associations: east and west.
That's part and parcel of where we're heading with this thing and where we're heading with our strategic plan for tourism development. It's all part of my desire, as Minister responsible and the deputy's desire to find a way to increase the private sector's involvement in the expenditure of these kinds of funds. At the end of the day, yes, we will discuss it, obviously, with the legislators. We will also discuss it with industry and, hopefully, running parallel with that, I'm optimistic we'll reach some consensus as to the development of two associations. Then, let me remind everybody, we're prepared to transfer the dollars involved in this into the hands of the associations. After all, it should be in the hands of those who are directly involved in tourism development. Thank you.
