Thank you, Madam Chair. One of the directions that we have set for the tourism organizations is they have members, and we want a demonstration that the members of that organization should take ownership of it. The best way to demonstrate it, which is done in other parts of the country, is by asking that each member pay a fee, that there be a collection of fees from each member. That would ensure, I guess, that there is more ownership of this organization, that it truly becomes an organization that reflects the tourism industry here in the Northwest Territories and that they have then an obligation to work together to come up with some viable plans which this government can then support. Once those two things happen then, as a Minister, I would be more than happy to revisit the issue of the level of financial support that this government gives to an organization like that. That was the understanding that we had the last time I met with them. Thank you.
