Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I believe the reason is that the operators are all gathered in the city of Edmonton and the simplest, most convenient travel route for them in the time we were prepared to devote to this tour was to go north to Yellowknife and Inuvik. That is the reason. The conference and trade show happens every year. They have been going on for the last 20 years and have moved from places like Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver. I believe when they return to eastern locations, then it becomes much easier and more convenient to set up -- depending on the interest of the trade show operators and representatives -- an opportunity to swing into the Keewatin and also into the Baffin. Thank you.
