Mr. Chairman, the individual who is doing this work is a man who is a northern resident who has taken three years of training in the audio-visual production area. He is an artist, himself. He does excellent work for us, in terms of carrying on the role of director of a lot of the projects we do. If we are doing a video, for example, on the fur issue, then he goes out and directs what is happening. He is also competent with a camera and with the other equipment.

If we don't give him the equipment to work with, we really have very limited use for his capacity in the audio-visual and artistic field in preparing this stuff, and we would likely have to hire someone to do that for us. He needs equipment to work with.
