Thank you, Madam Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Economic Development and Tourism. There are people in this city, since we live quite close to the barrenlands, who have taken small trees which may be several hundred years old and have tried to duplicate the Japanese art of bonsai, the creation of trees of rare beauty. I would like to ask the Minister whether his department has done any feasibility work on such a project as a way of using our renewable resources. These little trees, in some cases, have been around for many, many hundreds of years. Some local people have developed this art and I want to know if his department has taken an interest in this particular line of economic activity.
