Thank you, Mr. Speaker. A small follow-up to my colleague from the Kam Lake riding.
Mr. Speaker, this is NWT Tourism Week, and I acknowledge the unique and pristine attractions our territory offers to world travelers in developing this emerging and continuous industry. Mr. Speaker, the Sahtu contributes to the thriving and emerging industry to access the region's 26 per cent of the NWT Land Quantum, and the Great Bear Lake's 31,153 square kilometres of water mass providing world-class trophy fishing.
Providing the NWT with competitive advantages toward offering other world destinations is to further develop affordable connections. Mr. Speaker, Spectacular NWT, a tourism initiative under the direction of the Department of ITI providing promotional materials, has captured the unique residential cultures and tourism destinations of this significant area of Canada.
Our success, Mr. Speaker, is measured by the volumes and amount of visitors from other parts of the world to our destination. The last two surveys will conclude an increase, as previously mentioned by our respectful Minister. Mr. Speaker, later I will have questions to the Minister on a different subject. Mahsi.
