Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In regards to the area of tourism, there are a lot of concerns raised by committee in relation to the cuts that have been taken, especially in regards to the Northwest Territories tourism associations. In light of the amount of tourism potential we do have in the north and also the amount of resources it brings to communities, especially in the summer, especially areas that are hit economically where they do not have the potential of mines, or oil and gas fields, the tourism area is one area we feel where there is a real need for this government to spend more resources and also develop our tourism markets. Also, to provide the long term benefit to the NWT by marketing the Northwest Territories globally through tourism. I would like to ask the Minister in this area, what is the government doing to improve that particular area?
