Thank you. I think, as the Member will remember from our discussion yesterday in Committee of the Whole, the debate that we had around the Arts Strategy, we do have funding available. We provide money to the Great Northern Arts Festival, I believe it is called, in Inuvik on an annual basis. I can't remember the exact number. Under the Arts Strategy, we identified $75,000 in additional funding, reprofiled $50,000 of existing funding. We have $125,000 initiative broken down into five regions, $25,000 per region that is application based. It is for artisans who want to procure raw material in order to develop crafts. If there is a festival that has an initiative that could fit the criteria of this program and it is a schedule under the BDF, then I assume they would be eligible, but it would be a matter of meeting the criteria. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
