Thank you, Mr. Chair. I won't be very long. My colleagues stated a lot of the obvious and actually answered a lot of questions that I had.
With my colleague from the Sahtu, I agree that, if we are going to pay maybe $5 or $10 for a ticket, I don't think it would change anybody's mind to come to travel to the Northwest Territories. I think, when you look at the business model of it into the future, I think Yellowknife is probably the place that will benefit most out of this, and I think a lot of the surrounding communities will benefit, as well, from having tourists and clients. For myself, being in the outfitting business before, a lot of our clients were from Europe, and they had had to fly through other routes, sometimes it was impossible for them to reach my region and especially fly up to Paulatuk. So, in a sense, that cancelled some of their trips. From a business model, it affected our business, as well. So I think this brings them a step closer to saying yes and drawing more tourists to the Northwest Territories.
Looking forward, earlier I had mentioned about how great our harvesting and our culture is, so we want to bring more people to see that, too. Yellowknife is the capital, and I see in Iqaluit, Nunavut, they are building an airport. Their population is less than half of what we have here, in Yellowknife, and their airport is by far a lot bigger. It shows that the territories are moving forward with plans to become more of an icon of the North. So, for me along with my colleague from the Sahtu, I support this, and I think it's a smart move in planning forward. I just wanted to say that I support the bill. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
