Thank you, Mr. Chair. The Northern Food Development Program is a program provided by our regional offices, and it supports different program areas, such as fishing. So communities like Tsiigehtchic, where we have commercial fishers or new entrants wanting to enter into that sector, that would be the programming area that their regions would utilize.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate that. I don't know if this is the section. I know Tuktoyaktuk, during the last year's business plans, during sitting last year, there was $100,000 allocated for the community of Tuktoyaktuk to possibly look at upgrading the current visitor centre that they have there now, which is a shack. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Mr. Chair, can we get the Member to repeat the question? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. Last year, during the last November sitting, there was $100,000 from ITI to help Tuktoyaktuk with the current visitor centre that they have there now. I believe the department had allocated $100,000 to possibly look at upgrading the visitor centre that they currently have in Tuktoyaktuk right now. I don't know if that helps, but I could dig into e-mails quickly here and find out exactly what it is.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. From what I know of what is going on with the tourism information centre in Tuktoyaktuk is we are going to help do a feasibility study on the prospect of something happening there, but I think the Member might be referring to something that potentially could be in the capital budget going forward. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I believe so. I am sorry for my confusion. I don't think I have anything else right now, Mr. Chair. Thank you.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Given my colleague's last line of questioning, is this where planning studies would fall for the visitor centre, or would it be found in tourism and parks as we work our way through the ITI budget? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Hi there. Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. When it comes to planning studies, we do have a variety of applicants that do apply under the SEED Program. As it relates to tourism, this would also include SEED as well.

Thanks. Well, I will go ahead and try it here, and I might get told I have to ask it later, but is there any funding in the 2019-2020 budget for a territorial or Yellowknife visitor centre? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Later in the budget, there actually is a line item that does speak to Yellowknife visitor services, so we would be able to address questions there. I am not sure if that answers the Member's question at this point.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I have a question on the commercial fishers. It indicates on there that it is to offset the high cost of freight or production costs. Is that for the whole of Great Slave Lake, or is that the whole territory? Thank you.
