Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment, regarding the NWT Arts Council awards. In January of this year, the Minister announced successful applicants of the NWT Arts Council, which consisted of 34 NWT artists and groups who will be receiving funding in the amounts of $192,600 to carry out creative projects. Mr. Dent further indicated that the Arts Council plays an important role in nurturing and promoting the arts in the Northwest Territories. My question is: I would like the Minister governing this program to explain how the NWT benefits from some of these grants by promoting the development of arts in the NWT to third parties, when recipients of these grants are not required to be current residents of the Northwest Territories? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
