Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of RWED, the Honourable Joe Handley. Mr. Speaker, fur is one of the first economic resources in the Northwest Territories. This was used by the early traders and to this day, we are still sending our fur south. A fashion and traditional arts business in Fort Simpson, Nats'enelu Limited, has to buy their leather from the south and they also have scrounge around for moose hides. I would like to ask the Minister of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development if he can look into establishing a fur and hide tannery in the Northwest Territories. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
