Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am not sure if the Minister has answered this. He told me there was $30,000 spent on promoting the fur industry. If the Minister can comment on that again, I am also interested in knowing if the department has a bottom line on when they will consider there is nothing to be gained in fighting the anti-lobby, anti-fur promoters especially in Europe. They have resources available to them much larger than what we have as a government in the Northwest Territories and potentially in Canada. Does the department have a line drawn in the sand which they will conceive that we cannot change people's attitudes, especially in Europe, regarding the purchase of furs harvested in the Northwest Territories? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
