Mr. Chairman, thank you for that description. In looking over the report that was filed as of March 31st last year on the progress report of the Arts Strategy, there is indeed some information here on the kind of activities that the Minster has outlined.

You know, Mr. Chairman, and I find this a weakness across many government departments, when we hear outlines of these kinds of programs and the dollars and PYs that are attached to them, the information that comes back to us is very thin, very sketchy, and it's not at all what I would call results and performance related. One example, for instance, maybe the Minister could provide a little more specific on this area here, the exercise towards e-commerce solutions where we could help individual artisans or manufacturers get their product to buyers and to market quicker. The Minister said it's quite successful. How successful is that? How many NWT artisans and manufacturers are actually online now? Do we have some sense of the volume of traffic that's been generated that way?

Mr. Chairman, there is some frustration here in terms of a lot of narrative and superlative descriptions of what goes on, but chronically lacking in results in the performance and things that will help me gauge, as an MLA, whether or not it's worth voting the quarter of a million dollars that the department says it spent last year.
