Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We’ve made great strides when it comes to developing an agricultural industry here in the Northwest Territories. The Member has a good idea. I was with the Member recently this summer and we traveled down the river and there were farms historically near the community of Fort Providence. We’d certainly like to see some of that agricultural initiative renewed, and we have programs in place at ITI, working through our South Slave office, to support individuals in the Member’s community that want to get involved with agriculture. We’ve seen success stories around the Northwest Territories when you look at communities like Norman Wells, Gameti recently. If you can get somebody in the community and identify a real

community leader to take on that initiative, that would be a good start.

Of course, we have the Northern Farm Training Institute that just recently received some federal funding, and hopefully some folks from Fort Providence can attend that training institute and bring those skills back to the community of Fort Providence.
