Thank you, Madam Chair. In doing our Deficit Reduction Programs, the Arctic Tourism Association was cut back substantially in their funding, but in the summertime when the association met at their annual meeting, they made a request of the Minister to restore their funding back to their historical level. Considering the importance of tourism, and this association, I should explain, the NWT Arctic Tourism Association represents the western Arctic, considering the importance of tourism to the many people who are employed in this industry and the business owners in the tourism industry, I wonder if the Minister could tell us if he will readdress the question, if he can look at restoring the funding to the association that it was traditionally. That amount, I believe, was $352,000.
