Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, from time to time, I have occasion to visit the Public Works and Services warehouse out in Frame Lake South where obsolete and unwanted pieces of government equipment and furniture end up. Recently, Mr. Speaker, when I was out there, I had an occasion to see these very large, nice cabinets that were the cast-offs of the Prince of Wales museum. They used to use them as display cabinets in the Prince of Wales museum, but, of course, with the multimillions of dollar that have been spent on the Prince of Wales museum lately, they don't need these anymore and they ended up at the warehouse. So I saw them there and I tried to intercept them for our poor, struggling, fledgling little museum in Hay River. Kindly, the Minister of ECE did speak to Public Works and Services and said please do give them to the Hay River museum. The Hay River museum wants them; however, I have not been able to get them to Hay River. I would just like to ask the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment, in view of the very huge budget that has been expended on the museum here in Yellowknife, would he find in his heart to find $1,433 to have these six cabinets taken to Hay River for our museum? That is the quote from Matco transport. Thank you.
