Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I appreciate the honourable Member for mentioning that we don't have a strategy. That's something I'd like to see us work on and maybe see if we can get a commitment from the Minister, in the long run, to do that. But I don't think a northern strategy necessarily has to be where we have to start. It could be where we're going. I believe very strongly that the northern manufacturers need to be supported and this government needs to get behind them. I'll speak to something that's probably near and dear to the Speaker's heart, which is that I bought windows from Arctic Front out of Hay River, and I was exceptionally satisfied and promoted them to several people in Yellowknife who bought them. So these northern manufacturers are producing great quality products in our North, and I think it's imperative that we go the extra mile. So would the Minister consider something along the lines of a logo identification program? It could be something as simple as little stickers that said it was made in the NWT, just like the U.S.A. did a few years ago when they showed everyone their labels, "Made in the U.S.A." So would the Minister look at maybe making something simple like a "Made in the NWT" logo to help build that pride? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
