Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Our department recognized that the interest with regard to what we call “consumptive tourism” has been changing. So two years ago we introduced a program called Tourism Diversification Marketing Program in which we made $5.6 million available over a period of five years so that existing operators could look at finding different ways to change their tourism products from consumption to eco-adventure tourism, those kinds of different opportunities. That program has been available to the outfitters that the Member mentioned.
