Mr. Speaker, this is a very important file. That is why I am working with my colleagues from Manitoba.
I visited Churchill. I had an opportunity to meet with the northern delegation and have a town hall session with members of the community to hear their concerns, and put forward a plan going forward. That plan includes $4.6 million for regional economic development. We are focusing on tourism, Arctic research. We are looking at ways to diversify the economy, create jobs and opportunities.
Churchill is important for the north and it is important for Canada. Our government is committed to that region.
