Thank you, Mr. Speaker. One of the things which needed to be done was to rationalize the present funding allocation which is given to the tourism association. With that, would come a work plan and an idea of what it is that the association hopes to achieve, some goals and specific objectives over the coming year. We would then have a discussion about what the department would do in support of achieving those objectives and if there is a need for additional funding above and beyond what we have and if it is substantiated, then we would be in a position to look at it. One of the issues we raised with them was to institute membership fees. The individual businesses, which constitute the membership of the tourism body, would feel like they have ownership and responsibility. This would be doing what everybody else is doing in the country which is paying for a membership fee into the association. Thank you.
