Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Maybe I should just clear up some of potentially what is confusing here with the numbers. We're proposing to invest GNWT money; $1 million a year for five years. We're hoping to lever additional investment of about $2 million per year from other partners. We're also going to be working very closely with stakeholders like the NWT Tourism folks to deliver on programming. The number 145 was arrived at looking at the current state of our industry. It's about a $100 million a year industry in terms of GDP. It's broken out amongst, as you can imagine, a number of different sectors. We think, in sitting down with our departmental people and the NWTT and other stakeholders, that $145 million is a doable projection, and so that's what we're targeting; that level of growth in terms of GDP for the entire industry by 2010. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
