Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Although the Minister said he thought it was a great idea at the beginning, it still sounds like he’s kind of saying no. I think this is a great opportunity, and I’m not talking about paying people’s way, I’m talking about providing a financial reward to those associations when they actually convince a national group to come up. I think there’s a significant amount of value here and I think some research would be valuable. So I’d like to get the Minister’s commitment to actually conduct some research into this area to find out if there are opportunities for us to expand our ability to convince local associations to convince national and international bodies to come to the Northwest Territories to hold conferences. Let’s bring in some new money. Let’s get it spread around the Northwest Territories, Mr. Speaker.
