Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My point is we have a real commodity to market up here, especially when it comes to tourism with regard to arts and crafts and aboriginal cultures which associate a lot to their art and what not. I think that this department can possibly get a lot of mileage out of marketing that in this sector, because that's a sector that is basically attracted to crafts and things like that when they travel to any particular area. So if they go to a marketing tourism show, go into the States or overseas to Germany or wherever, you should also take along with you products that are developed in the North to market them along with the tourism package. I'm not trying to say that the Business Development Corporation is going to take care of this, but I think you also have to market a product; not just put a map on the wall and say come on over. You have to be able to go there and show them the lifestyle of the people, the different cultures, the different types of materials that people use for traditional clothes or whatever. But that should be associated in the strategy of ... You have a sector of almost $2 million and something has to be tied into getting a return on that $3 million that you have within that. That's what I was trying to get at: We should start marketing those types of products.
