Mr. Chair, the tourism officer's position, this one here is going to be key in many successes of tourism in the North here and I hope that some of the work that's going to be looked at is the importance of hooking up with key leadership, key people in the region, looking at the significance and the cultural, spiritual area of our land, and really getting a good sense of it. I think some of it we had this summer in terms of walking the 54 miles this summer, that we had a real good sense of the cultural, the spiritual component of people in the Sahtu, and the youth really appreciated that trail and the significance of our elders in terms of how they use that portion of the land. I know, Mr. Bell, I think you may be looking forward to the trip next year and getting a taste of it, as an earlier commitment has been made in the House here. But I think a tourism officer is going to be a real key person, and I hope we provide as much support as possible in this area here because it's going to be a key...I'm losing my train of thought here, so I'm going to leave it at that, Mr. Chair, and continue on with the bill. Thank you.
