Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in stores and in various kinds of outlets you can buy deer hide that's commercially tanned. I'd like to suggest that deer aren't much smaller than a caribou, so if you can buy deer hide you should be able to buy caribou hide. When I was in Alaska recently also, they had commercially tanned reindeer hides with the fur still on; a beautiful looking thing that could be put on the back of a sofa or used as a bedside mat. I would like to ask the Minister if a proponent came forward with a proposal to process caribou hides in all different manners here in the Northwest Territories, would there be assistance or funding available to undertake such a venture? Thank you.
