Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As the Minister has indicated, we have tried a number of initiatives over the years in various regions. The reason we prefer to do it here in the North is transportation costs to ship raw hides out for tanning is very prohibitive. You have to pay transportation in and out both ways. Most people find it is easier to just order from catalogues where you only pay one way. What we are trying to do is to show people how to tan here in the Northwest Territories. Thank you.
