Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just in regard to this clause, I'm just wondering if the Minister is talking with ILA in regard to the Husky Lakes area. Of course, I understand that he might have a certain area that's been restricted for tourism. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We will certainly have these discussions in every region with the regional authority. I can't and I don't know if we're currently in discussions, if our regional staff are currently in discussions with relation to Husky Lake, but I will certainly find out for the Member. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The tourism officers, are they going to be placed, are they already placed, already targeted, are they switching job titles from existing officers in their regional office in terms of having these tours and officers? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. No, the tourism officers are in existence now. Their titles are not changing. They have this designation. So they aren't the creation of any new positions. Thank you.

Yes, thank you. I understand that Deni Gaccione is our Sahtu region designated tourism officer. Now, this tourism officer, because of the earlier discussions in the House in regards to the Dodo Park here, would this tourism officer be designated to work in that 354-some kilometres of designated Canol Trail area
that would look at taking care of the Canol area, besides Great Bear Lake, Colville Lake, Good Hope and the Tulita area? Thanks.

Mahsi, Mr. Yakeleya. I just caution committee not to name individuals for better or for worse, so if you could just keep that in mind as well. Thank you, committee. Minister Bell.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yes, the person in the area, the tourism officer, is responsible currently for that Dodo Park. Mr. Chairman, I would say that we think there's additional workload coming up here in the future with the transfer of that land, and I think we, in speaking with the committee, envision the hiring of an additional officer in that region because we think that there will be the work. We're some ways away from that now, but we're working with the committee on that. Thank you.
