I'm trying, Mr. Speaker, very hard.

The current position we have right now is that the western Arctic territory...We're discussing with the Yukon the possibility of including their Yukon vacation guide. They've asked us if we're prepared to let a western Arctic Member become a member of the Yukon Tourism Marketing Council. I think this is a good idea. This is a private sector group, by the way, that advises the Yukon Minister on issues and programs.

I'm told that western Arctic tourism information is being provided to six Yukon visitor reception centres. In addition, I'm also told that the NWT representative will be invited to attend the Yukon's travel counsellor training program. I would also

have some access -- it says here in the notes -- to the Tourism Yukon's database.

I think there is some discussion and some practical application of cooperation With both governments. There's a great deal more that needs to be done. I'm optimistic, given the way the traffic flows out in that area, and given the importance of tourism, particularly in the Inuvik area with the development of the new visitors' centres, at cetera that this cooperative joint venture effort will bring about, hopefully, more tourists for the NWT and will bring about a more cost-effective way of promoting that particular jurisdiction. Thank you.
