Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. In the Finance Minister's Budget Address, the Minister announced that the Department of Economic Development and Tourism has allocated $650,000 for two three-person economic development officer teams to serve smaller communities where no economic development officers are present. I believe the Minister of Economic Development and Tourism calls this "an itinerant EDO service."

Mr. Speaker, this is a very good initiative and should help the people in smaller communities, but I would like to get some clarification on how this program is going to work. I would like to ask the Minister of Economic Development and Tourism,

from which community will these two three-person teams be working out of?

I understand there are regional offices in the Baffin, Keewatin, Kitikmeot, Inuvik, Fort Smith and also in Yellowknife. There are only two teams of three people, so I would like to know, specifically, where they're going to be stationed from.
