Mr. Speaker, in Japan there is a lot of protocol and certain ways to do things. This is a very prestigious occasion in a very new setting. Mr. Y. Niimi, our agent, has been granted five days at this brand new building to put on this exhibit. I was invited to go as the Minister responsible for Economic Development and Tourism. I felt it would be better, seeing that this is structured around Inuit art, if there were an Inuit Minister in attendance who could explain, much better than I could, his culture and the origin of Inuit art, and who could also speak the language. The reason for the presence of a Minister is, we want to put this as high profile as possible because, as I said before, there is a large market at stake. We are talking art; we are not talking crafts or handicrafts in this instance. When the Japanese asked us to send a Minister, then I think it is a good idea that we do.
For the information of the House, Mr. Allooloo will also be going to Sapporo, where he will be discussing putting together a very high class catalogue which will further serve to exhibit this kind of art throughout Japan. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
