Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Another issue related to tourism comes under this area. It is a concern I have had raised to me. It is about marketing. The department tends to take the lead role in marketing, going to shows in southern Canada, the States, often from the regional level but with minimal, if any, contact or involvement of local businesses to market the North. The concern I have heard is that it would be much better if there was a way to involve tourism associations or chambers to send actual people who are in the business to work with the departmental people, so you get a rounded picture when you are marketing.

It is a concern I have heard consistently every year I have been an MLA. It is constantly brought up. I would like to ask the Minister if he sees a way to involve tourism operators in this process, more in terms of the actual marketing, not just leaving it to employees of the department, who have no real strong, vested interest other than they are paid to do that job as opposed to somebody whose life's blood may be put into the business they are trying to make viable. Thank you.
