Thank you, Madam Chair. The primary focus for the Department of Education for the Arts Strategy monies is around the Arts Council. So that's where the money is going for distribution. Now, having said that, we are also embarking on an arts education curriculum for NWT schools. We're working currently with the province of Manitoba to modify their curriculum, which looks like it might be quite interesting to us, to be relevant and make sure that it's relevant in the Northwest Territories. But this $426,000 is all designed to go out to organizations as contributions and we will be using our own internal funds for the curriculum and to support the Arts Council in its work.
