Yes, Mr. Speaker. We are going to make sure we are working very closely in the various different regions. Our regional staff will lead much of those discussions. We have to engage the various different stakeholders, not the least of whom will be the other potential funding partners and funding agencies. So there will be a lot of discussion with the Canadian Tourism Commission, with DIAND, but also we recognize that we need buy-in in the regions. I can certainly agree with the Member who proposed earlier that it is difficult at times to get people interested and engaged in the tourism industry. In my travels to Inuvik recently and discussing with the departmental staff, because of the state of the economy, because people are so bullish on oil and gas activity, it is difficult to get people thinking and talking about tourism, but that's our role. We have a job as government to engage them in that discussion and we will work to do that. Thank you.
