Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Certainly, the Minister is right; in order for the North to be competitive on this, you do need to look at things like access to raw materials, material that could be brought in by train into Hay River, and the fact that the finished products could be shipped out by barge down the Mackenzie River system. All those kinds of things go together to give the North the competitiveness that they need to get involved in these activities. I would like to ask the Minister, for the benefit of those people in Hay River who are interested in, perhaps, participating in such a venture, would the Minister himself come to Hay River to meet collectively or individually with interested businesses, and to see firsthand all the manufacturing activity that is already occurring in Hay River? Thank you.
