What has happened, I think, Mr. Speaker, is that there has been a saturation in the market that we have had. We are putting on an exhibition in Yokohama on May 9. Mr. Allooloo, the Minister for Culture, will be attending. We are sending over some throat singers, and a drummer, I think, and we are going to try to raise the level of knowledge about Inuit carving in Japan. We already have an agent there, Mr. Y. Niimi. He was here last Monday with our consultant from Toronto, and they look forward to a greater expansion of the market in Japan. I hear what the Member is saying, and I would like to confirm that we are putting on those displays, and hopefully when Mr. Allooloo is in Yokohama he will be able to come back and say there will be other displays in the Japanese market, which is considered a good market right now. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
