It's unfortunate if the consultant didn't travel into the honourable Member's riding. He knows I've spoken on a number of occasions on the importance of the Nahanni area. I think it's probably one of the most beautiful places in the Northwest Territories so I will have a look into that issue. However, there is a sense of urgency in terms of trying to find a new way of doing things. We've had to look at cutbacks, as instructed by the FMB, with respect to our zone association budgets. I guess that's the urgency.

To answer the question, I'm saying on the one hand, I'll check into why his communities didn't get an opportunity, two, that there has to be recognition that there is a sense of urgency because of budget restraints; and, three, in terms of ongoing input, I would suggest two things: one, I believe there is a move approved by some of the existing zones to call a meeting in the not-too-distant future of all the zones in an effort to reach an arrangement with each other as to how a western tourist association should be formalized. That might be one area where the Nahanni Ram Tourism Association could participate.

Two, I will discuss with the deputy minister what steps we intend to take once the report has come forward to see if, in fact, we have consensus on the results of the report and report back to the honourable Member. Thank you.
