Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions this afternoon are for Mr. Roland, the Minister of Finance. It concerns the upcoming federal budget. Mr. Speaker, I would like to see if the Minister went to bat for tourism operators in the Northwest Territories who potentially face a major increase in the cost of their product sold overseas, because the Conservative government wants to apply the 6 percent GST to those packages, something that's never been done before and creates an enormous barrier to these tourism operators. Did the Minister relay, on behalf of our tourism operators, objection to this move, Mr. Speaker?
