Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I don't have much to say on Economic Development. Basically, I just have to commend the Minister for turning the department around, and for addressing some of the issues that have needed to be addressed with regard to streamlining and cutting down the time frames for funding to be evaluated. I certainly have recognized that it is a quicker time frame.

However, I did want to ask a couple of questions about a comment he has made. First of all, I would like to ask about pages 6 to 8 regarding visitors' centres. Recognizing that there are visitors' centres in the eastern Arctic and in some parts of the western Arctic and Inuvik's visitor's centre has been completed, I would like to ask about whether consideration is being made for visitors' centres in the Fort Smith area.

In addition to that, Mr. Chairman, I wanted to get clarification about our natural resources; in particular, fur. It states: "The demand for fur products is making a slow come back," and he is proposing to: "...give the NWT Development Corporation a one-time contribution of $450,000 towards offsetting the cost of developing high-end fur coats and the establishment of manufacturing facilities in the Kitikmeot and Inuvik regions. Subject to the commercial success of these new products, one further product centre would be established in the Baffin region and another in the Deh Cho in subsequent years. An estimated 30 manufacturing jobs will be created with this initiative." Does this basic initiative, which includes high-end fur coats, also include anything with respect to tanneries? I would like an update on that area. Thank you.
