Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, tourism is tremendously important to a lot of organizations in the Northwest Territories. Quite a few are employed in this industry. It is one of the few areas which has growth potential for us. The NWT has an association in place and sometime ago it requested funding from the Minister of Renewable Resources for a funding increase. The Minister has stated at the time that he had meetings with the association, advised them that he would like to see them become more self-sufficient, but also to develop a plan. In the mid-term review I had asked the Minister if he would address this question. He had committed to revisiting this issue with the organization. My question will be for the Minister, Mr. Kakfwi, if he could update us on what has transpired with the association regarding funding? Thank you.
