Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to go into an area that we do not often cover in the Department of Education, Culture and Employment, and that is the culture side of things. As we go through the main estimates here and the budget, Mr. Chairman, I think we will see that a number of other areas within the department, program areas have enjoyed, and quite rightly and deservedly so, substantial increases in expenditure and resources. The culture side of things, from the definitions provided in the book, are static in terms of resources and funding and have been so for quite some time. I offer that as a comment, I guess, to steer into a question as something that the Minister might be able to advise on.

In the area of the volunteer organizations, the community-based organizations, which really do such a tremendous job of preserving, enhancing and celebrating their cultures and heritage at a community level. I think they do so with a lot of sweat equity, with a lot of excellent cooperation with the corporations and businesses in the given community and, of course, with some of the help they get from the GNWT. We are getting really, really good value, I believe, Mr. Chairman, for the money that we are putting into culture.

I wanted to ask, in broad terms, Mr. Chairman, what kind of strategies, directions or trends does the department see in the area of cultural enhancement and its expenditures and investments in this area? Thank you.
