Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would say yes, it is a possibility in the Northwest Territories. As the Members have raised in this House, we have an abundance of natural resources when it comes to fish in our lakes and the wildlife that take up the land here across the Northwest Territories. In fact, in the past when I was with the hunters' and trappers' committee, I recall a pilot project on the fisheries project up in the Mackenzie Delta that was tied to the fisheries group in Hay River and Freshwater Fish Marketing Corporation, I believe it was. They did a bit of a pilot project there. At that time I recall asking why we didn't try to do something or packaging of things in the North instead of sending our products south. It is something I believe should be looked into a little more and making use of our own resources.
