Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Our next area of concern has to do with an overall policy for museums, churches and other historical buildings. During the review of the 1992-93 capital estimates the committee recommended development of a policy integrating museum development in the N.W.T. I would like to point out, Mr. Chairman, that we were not the first Standing Committee on Finance to do this. The policy it was also recommended to this House by the Standing Committee on Finance prior the current one. Apparently we were advised that this strategy is now due for completion by the department in this current fiscal year. Concerns are constantly raised by Members about the confusion over treatment of historical buildings, churches, tourist projects, and other things with a similar theme. These should all be dealt with in the strategy under development. In the meantime further capital projects should be delayed pending completion of the strategy and substantiation of the costs and benefits. It is difficult for the committee to prioritize items which may be in the capital plan without having an overall strategy from the department.
