Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Very early on last year we realized that the problem was marketing arts and crafts out of the Northwest Territories. We have been addressing that issue. In fact, there is going to be a meeting in southern Canada today between the cooperative and some representatives from other agencies that buy arts and crafts in the Northwest Territories, and a person who we were using in Europe, Angel Cosmos, to see if we can move more of the products into Europe.
Mr. Speaker, we have also made some in roads into the Japanese market, but it is becoming apparent to us that carvers are not necessarily being paid enough money for their carving. In other words, the mark-up takes place either at the wholesale level, or certainly, at the retail level. We are looking at that right now, Mr. Speaker. I am not sure what we can do about it, but we can certainly look at it and point out where the mark-ups are occurring and we may come up with the fact that carvers are not getting enough money for their art work. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
