Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, this department here, RWED, they are there to assist potential clients in looking at all types of funding opportunities that are there through RWED. There are funding opportunities there that exist for tourism and to look at product development. We are there to help develop business through loans and grants. There is training involved. We help out in training and we are also involved in marketing. Again, like product development, we provide that. There is management training, different level guiding of training, and again promotional costs and production of tourism materials. So there is a lot of assistance that this department could provide.
Again, in terms of restaurants and hotels, through the Northwest Territories Development Corporation, they have worked with community corporations in some instances to build hotels, coffee shops and so forth. The funding and the mechanism is there. We just have to find a way to work with the people in the communities if that is what they want to do. There is opportunity there to do it.
There are initiatives that this department has funded to finance the construction of community facilities and to provide the training. It is ongoing. There are joint ventures that NWT Development Corporation has done with some of the community corporations to have these facilities.
It is a matter of trying to find out if the community is interested. We have the different programs to do it. Thank you.
