I guess I could say that this came to my attention a couple of months after receiving the portfolio. We sat down to discuss a number of initiatives. Upon learning of it, I had some discussions with the Tourism Association of the Northwest Territories, talked about their interest in being involved. In fact, initially approached them to see if they'd be interested in heading up our effort, but admittedly they don't have the kind of resources that we do in the department so we were best suited to take the lead and draw on their expertise in terms of marketing. So that's the approach that we've taken. I'm guessing that we've been discussing this for a year. Thank you.
