I couldn't agree more. This is not a GNWT-led initiative at all. This is Whati government led, Tlicho government led. The role of the Department of ITI is there to support and to provide whatever assistance is requested or sought after. Certainly, this is not a project that we should be leading. I can say that there is an application that was received by the Department of ITI from the Tlicho government to help support the development of a one-year tourism, hospitality, small business start-up program. I am very happy to provide that support financially, as well as in terms of educational component so that, indeed, that can be driven by the community and developed in a way that is appropriate and respectful of the values of the community.
