We certainly will. I think that's a very good point. Let me also say that one of the reasons we wanted to focus on tourism in this new department and, in fact, have tourism very well laid out in our plans but also in the title, is we recognize and we've had challenged over the past years to get tourism capital infrastructure funded. It tends to fall lower down the priority list than schools or hospitals, but we think tourism is very important. We want to do what we can to raise the profile of tourism. We think we need to invest more money in our parks right across the NWT. I think that the capital reinvestment hasn't been there. It needs to be a higher priority, but obviously we are fiscally challenged. There are other priorities. That is one of the reasons we've decided to focus on tourism in the creation of this new department is to raise the profile. Hopefully that will result in additional infrastructure funds put towards good tourism initiatives like this one. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
