Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I know that this leaves a number of organizations, festivals and volunteer groups kind of frustrated, Mr. Chairman. The ongoing support for the Great Northern Arts Festival is superb. I would love to see a similar kind of ongoing, sustained commitment to festivals like the Caribou Carnival here in Yellowknife, the Midway Festival just outside of Fort McPherson, and the South Slave Music Festival. So there are a number of different events that deserve support, but I think what we need to do and what I will be working with the arts community, along with my other colleagues, and go back to the policy table and see if we can't come up with something to address this very significant area and what is so far a really big gap in our arts and culture framework. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
