Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The drop in the level of funding provided to the tourism sector was because of the termination of the EDA, therefore the federal money that was allocated to this sector has disappeared, but our own allocation of Government of the Northwest Territories dollars has basically remained the same. What I have told the tourism groups and associations are that I expect, particularly the Western Arctic Tourism Association, to now request that members should pay a fee. There should be some contribution from the members to the association and once a good work plan strategy is developed, we would revisit the issue of funding and additional support if that was required. That is where we had left it. Thank you.
