Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is to the Minister of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development in regard to a letter I wrote to the Minister regarding a tourism development officer position for the Mackenzie Delta. I think it is crucial that Mackenzie Delta gets their own tourism development officer because I feel that the individual we have in place at the present time is stretched to the limit where she has to cover some 13 communities in an area, especially in the Western Territory, which covers almost half the geographical area of the new Western Territory. It is not fair to that individual to try to do an adequate job with the resources she has, but also trying to do a sufficient job to serve all the residents of the Nunakput region, the Mackenzie Delta region, the Sahtu region, where she covers three jurisdictional areas, I think for her to do an adequate job, especially for the amount of traffic we do get in the Mackenzie Delta region. I would like to ask the Minister, has he taken into account the area that this individual has to cover and also the number of communities she has to serve?
