Page 222, Human Resources, regional operations, active positions, information item. Any questions? Seeing none. Mr. Beaulieu.

Just want to add to the comments about Ottawa. Twenty years ago, I was a visitor in Ottawa and I did find on the website the office in question here, and found very convenient. It did provide me with a lot of support while I was there; where to go, who to see. It probably provides other residents of the NWT with the same level of services.

After listening and reviewing the numbers here yesterday, I think it could be said confidently that there are resources available to hold such an event. I think Kevin would agree there, he's smiling, so I've got his vote. Nevertheless, we'd like to submit a proposal here in the very near future, so would the Minister commit to providing the necessary resources?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I correct myself here earlier on my Member's statement here. My question today is directed to the Minister of Industry, Tourism and Investment. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It's common knowledge that we know the high and significant contributions, the economic contributions, the mining industry brings to the growth of the region, the territorial government as well, and the workforce, and to explore and add to the contributing factor of that industry is the reason why I would like to ask the Minister's support in funding a regional conference in one of the Sahtu's communities...
