Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for Mr. Kakfwi, the Minister of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development. It concerns the statement I made last week on tourism for the Northwest Territories, and I pointed out at that time that the association has made tremendous progress in their development as an association. Their funding was cut to $540,000, yet they have shown tourism visitation has not come down in the territories and that to me shows efficiency and that they are on track. Their request is to have funding increased to $1.2 million in the first year and then $2.2 million in the next year. Tourism is the third highest GDP producer in the territories with some $40 million in the western Arctic. I wonder if the Minister would consider their request to increase their funding in the coming years? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
