Thank you, Mr. Speaker. One of the biggest challenges is the Japanese tourism visitation is down right across the country. We were able to buck that trend for some time in the Northwest Territories. I think we had a very unique product. But as the Member has indicated, we are faced with some serious competition and pressure from Alaska, from northern Alberta, Yukon, Scandinavia is another big player. So we have to talk about destination market spending. We can always spend more money. I am sure NWTT can make good use of more money, but we have infrastructure investments that critically need to be made here so that we can deal with intercontinental jets being able to land here. There are a number of other issues and I would certainly be prepared to talk to committee about some of what we are proposing to do as we move forward. Thank you.
