Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Arctic has some very unique elements that are of great interest to people around the world. For instance, this is one of the few jurisdictions where you can actually see wildlife in its still pristine state, as is, without having to go to international parks. The land is still very much the way it has been for thousands of years. The Canadian Arctic has always been exemplified by pictures of polar bears, snow, ice and Inuit. There is a lot of tourism interest in the Eastern Arctic and there is also a great deal of interest from the tourism operators and outfitters from Nunavut and we will always be attending these conferences. Thank you.
