So I want to say that the challenge in how you put this to a market.
I agree with Mrs. Groenewegen in terms of having a place, having available supplies there for the people. Nice beads, like a co-op system where the ladies can come, the men can come. I really encourage what you're saying about the wild products, about having moose and caribou hides available and men can come and make small drums and moose skin mitts. I think that's our claim to fame in the Northwest Territories, about our good, quality products second to none.
As I heard from a friend, I heard that this is the second-best jacket I've seen, because I haven't seen the best yet. So I think that's what we have to do, Mr. Minister. I agree with the Members here. That's all I want to say. We really need to protect our people, and our most valuable resources in the North are in the communities right across the valley. There's lots of good talent, artists and that, so we really have to protect them and put some value to the work, but also have some control because if we let it slide, these people, they know how to get the money from us. If they want money, they'll sew a quick slipper. I've seen it in my community, and I know the quality isn't there all the time, so we have to be very careful, Mr. Minister. We could have some good things there.
Like McPherson; we should be celebrating that they make good canvas bags. I went to that shop and saw those hard-working people there making good canvas bags. I went to school with some of those students there in the school. Even Fort Providence. Norman Wells has a good museum there. Here in Yellowknife they have some good stores here. I think all over, even in Smith, the museum there. There's lots of good talent here, so I guess how we collect all that. Mr. Chairman, that's all I want to say. It's just a comment to the Minister and I want to leave it at that. We have some good raw talent in the Northwest Territories. Let's protect them. Mahsi.
