Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I just wanted to say that the government supports this motion. We support the principle of it and we won't be voting on it today because it is a recommendation to government.

Mr. Speaker, support to our artists is something that we should be doing. In fact, our deputies have been working on an art enhancement policy and they will continue to work on that and would be happy to work with the Members on how we can make that an even better policy.

Mr. Speaker, art, in our view, isn't something that should be left after you have done everything else and you have invested all your money and everything else and got it all perfect and then put money into art. I agree with some of the Members, that this should be incorporated in the way we do business.

So, Mr. Speaker, we will not be voting on this. We do take the motion very seriously. We like it, but because it's a recommendation to government, we will not be voting. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
