...arts and crafts industries. Mr. Speaker, I am very serious. Look at this building; look at this Chamber. When people come and visit, what do they remember? I don't think they remember who is sitting in these chairs. They remember the beautiful artwork. They do remember that. Everywhere we go around the world people talk about how beautiful this Legislature is, because it's more than a building. It's a work of art and why can we not create that in every place that we build? Technology is there and it's about matter of will and matter of priority. It doesn't have to necessarily be a huge cost, you know, adventure. Mr. Speaker, I could tell you that this initiative, if the government accepts this, will help our community not only artistically and culturally, but economically. It will be, as Mr. Menicoche suggested, a shot in the arm; the catalyst to revive so many of our arts and crafts in our communities.

Mr. Speaker, I am not envisioning some elitist, fancy, million dollar artwork. I have to tell you one of the privileges of being a Member is to go to communities and get to know the communities and get to see the communities. It's really sad, Mr. Speaker, when we go to some communities where there is no market, no commercial activities. There are no stores. You have to go and try to find where we can get some arts and crafts. I know the thing is in every community, they are all sitting in people's homes, houses, basements and garages. Why can we not display them? This policy, as I see it, will set an example of the GNWT buildings to create a space, create a home, not only in that building but in our minds that we give priority to artwork. How much art is sitting in the Prince of Wales Museum? They don't have enough space to display all that. Why can't we take them out and put them in our buildings? We don't have to create a fancy museum to do that. I am hoping by the GNWT setting an example and implementing this policy, that other levels of government will see that this can happen; in municipal governments, aboriginal government buildings, because there will be lots of new aboriginal government buildings happening, diamond mines. I just think it's growing and we should find room to entertain this.

I know a lot of Members want to speak about this. I really see this as a way and a concrete way, a very precise way, a very meaningful way, a very courageous way for us to preserve what we have, arts and crafts and everything else that's happening to enhance what we have and to foster future growth of arts and crafts communities in the Northwest Territories.

I just can't say enough for this. We will be pushing this and I would strongly encourage the Cabinet Ministers...I don't know if they are taking this very seriously. I want them to take this very seriously and implement this by the deadline given in this motion; April 1, 2007. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
