Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'm not quite clear what the Member's referring to as bringing in southern companies for tourism, but I do know that as a government as a whole we put a lot of emphasis on using NWT products and services and we follow our BIP policy and all that as much as we can to offer services. In the Department of ITI we have a Tourism Mentorship program, and maybe that's what the Member's referring to where operators can access this program. It's done through the Canadian Executive Service Organization, and they will match up any potential operators with a mentor and they will work with the mentee. Depending on the proposal, the mentee can go to the mentors or the mentor can come to the mentees' operation and help facilitate how they can make their operation a more profitable business for themselves and for a better tourism experience for all tourists.
