Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I read it a couple of times and I couldn't envision how $1 million plus $2 million every year could add up to $145 million, but I see that's the government hopes the tourists will spend, not what the government will spend on the tourism industry. Anyway, Mr. Speaker, in watching the closing ceremony of the Olympics recently and looking at how Vancouver 2010 was presented, it appears that the Vancouver Olympic team, or the Canadian Olympic Team, is planning on promoting Canada as a northern country. The emblem is an inukshuk from the East, and the guy that showed up with the ice fishing machine, I don't know if he's from the Yukon or the NWT, but I think this is a real opportunity for us in the 2010 plan to capitalize on the audience that we're going to get not only across the country, but around the world; not only the visitors, but the TV viewers. I'd like to know if the Minister has any plan to incorporate this tourism plan to maximize that opportunity. Thank you.
