Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In this particular area here, I'm moving over to the festivals and culture and heritage area, there is a discussion on one of these pages, Mr. Chairman, of the continuance of a $25,000 contribution to the Great Northern Arts Festival in Inuvik.
I wholeheartedly support this contribution. The survival and hopefully the growth and enhancement of festivals and events are truly something that is a great showcase for the NWT of our peoples and their skills and our lifestyles.
Mr. Chairman, last year the current or existing Department of RWED, along with ECE announced the joint responsibility for the NWT Arts Strategy. On this page here, I wanted to see if the Minister could advise on what particular areas, like the Great Northern Arts Festival, the new department will continue to invest in and where does it see its role vis-a-vis the support of the new NWT Arts Strategy? Thank you.
