Thank you Mr. Speaker. I have a question to the Minister of Culture and Communications. Mr. Speaker, in 1989, an agreement was signed by several southern Canadian museums, the Inuit Cultural Institute, the GNWT and DIAND. Under the terms of this agreement, DIAND has transferred ownership of 1668 pieces of fine Inuit art to ICI to be held and cared for by the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre. Mr. Speaker, I have strong concern for the way these items from our cultural history have been treated since they came into the hands of the Northwest Territories. My question is, will the Minister of Culture and Communications confirm that none of the records of the ICI collection have been entered into the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre's computer data base?
