Thanks, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the commitment by the Minister, and just so that he understands, I'm glad that the department is getting ready and they're responding to a growing tourism industry here. That's a good thing. I just want to understand a little bit better about what exactly this position is going to do. I'll give you an example. I was over at the Frontier Visitors Centre a week and a half ago; I was there for about 45 minutes, they had, like, five staff on. Probably 50 people came through the doors and were buying things. The place was crazy, quite frankly. So those people are overworked and they need some additional support, and if there's a way that this new position can help them with their growing workload, that would be great, but I look forward to getting the information from the Minister and I thank him for his efforts in this regard. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
