Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, this coming forward at a late state, usually, as I stated earlier, we find departments...In this case the department did come forward, it was part of their Tourism 2010 package in request for additional support. At that point, it wasn't given. With the change in our process and a slightly better change in our fiscal environment, this came back to the table and was supported. Ultimately though, as the Member stated, is it enough? We'll probably find that the request still in total doesn't match the original request that was made, but it is a support for changing the way tourism business can be looked at and the type of tourism that is available in the Northwest Territories. But I would say at this point that we would still probably fall short of the total ask that would be out there, but it is an increase to what's existing. Thank you.
