Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In my opening comments I said a strong and vibrant arts sector is integral to the economic, social and cultural wellbeing of the residents of the Northwest Territories. I believe that personally; that's not just the statement that's in my opening comments. I did say that I am committed to working with the department to do what we can to assist NACC in its operation. We have not identified the money at this point. It does not show up in this budget. But we are going to work on it to try and find it and I have made that commitment to NACC as well. So, yes, I am committed to the arts, the department is committed to the arts. We're going to do what we can to follow through on our commitments, both to organizations like NACC and to the Arts Council. Thank you.
