Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Later today in Hay River there will be a group of people getting together for the sixth season premiere of Ice Pilots, Mr. Speaker.

I would like to give congratulations to Mike McBryan, who’s idea it was to get history on board and presented this to them over six years ago. I would like to congratulate the McBryan family, Buffalo Airways.
It’s been six years, Mr. Speaker, and we’re going to see the repercussions of this film and TV show for years to come. We know this program is being launched in many different countries. Some of them are starting back with episode one just this year. We’re going to continue to see, my colleague and I, when we travel on Buffalo Airways, people from all over the world who come to see Buffalo Airways to see a DC-3 and be able to fly on one, Mr. Speaker.
This is just one of the opportunities that have been created by the film industry in the Northwest Territories. Last month my colleague Mrs. Groenewegen and I were able to attend another premiere of Andrew Stanley’s 10-part series on trapping in the Northwest Territories. We have great benefits from this film industry and we need to continue to invest in the film industry. It will promote the North; put the North on the map in Canada and throughout the world.
Later on I will have questions for the Minister of ITI and where we’re going with the film industry support. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Mr. Bouchard. The honourable Member for Frame Lake, Ms. Bisaro.
