Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In may be to oversimplify it, but I think the strategy is twofold. It is about generating interest, and marketing is the way for us to do that. But it's also about developing product. That's why you see the breakdown and we have this discussion of developing regional attractions. We need that product in place so when we go and drum up business and create the interest, we bring people home and there are a lot of attractions for them. So we see the Olympic Games as a wonderful opportunity, Mr. Speaker. I know the Premier's also had discussions with the chair of the Olympic committee, Jack Pool, and invited him North. He's agreed to come North. I think at that point we can have a good discussion about what the opportunities are for the NWT, and promoting ourselves and enhancing our presence at those games. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
