Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We are very much in favour of looking at the manufacturing sector. I think there is opportunity and potential here in the NWT to further it. There are examples of that already in some of the communities. I know in some communities, if the opportunity is there, they will pursue that as well. We have an interim manufacturing directive and we already have some financial resources in that pocket of dollars to make available for manufacturing development in the North. We are very aggressively pursuing this manufacturing policy that is in draft form. Once that is developed and with the input we are hoping to get, it would give us an opportunity to further identify the resources that would be required to further enhance this sector. Thank you.
