Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Economic Development and Tourism regarding my Member's statement. In light of the individual, I recognized, Rosie Firth. Rosie is receiving a pension and she has been widowed for 16 years. One way that Rosie was able to sustain herself was by sewing. She has been able to develop such a skill and a craft of sewing that her work is displayed in Ottawa and in Hull, Quebec. Mr. Speaker, when I talk about the whole sector of community, regardless if it is carving or sewing or basically having a skill, that is worth something. I think for people in the north, especially in the small communities, a lot of them depend on whatever little income they get from this activity.
Mr. Speaker, I feel this government should seriously look at developing internally some policy or separate portfolio to deal with the craft industry on its own, whether it is carving or sewing. I would like to ask the Minister, is there the possibility of establishing a committee or working along with the aboriginal organizations and communities to develop such a structure within the economic framework of this government?
