Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It is something that's come up in my recent consultations with chambers of commerce across the Northwest Territories. We had some discussion around such an initiative in Fort Smith, I believe. It is something we'd like to look at. We've talked internally about our arts and crafts and how to ensure there is a premium and additional margin for people producing arts and crafts in the Northwest Territories. We've talked about branding and tags that would have some reference to the artists who created the crafts. But with that and with that branding certainly will come "Made in the NWT" labels. Could that be expanded to other products? It probably could. It's something that I'd like to consider in my discussions with chambers of commerce and I think it is a good initiative that could be discussed and debated as the program service review is undertaken. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
