Last Night's PM Speech

He talked about the tourism aspect of the Yukon and - the important part ($$$),

"During his speech, the Prime Minister announced that the federal
government will provide an additional $9.5 million to cover the cost of
transporting athletes, coaches, and officials to Whitehorse. "

This whole North-of-Sixty tour is about "... the government’s agenda
of re-asserting Canada’s Arctic sovereignty, supporting private-sector
job creation, particularly in the resource development sector, and highlighting the
role the region will play in making our country a global energy
superpower."

And, for the entire thing, including a photo of the PM with our own Fentie, you can click here.
