Well, if communities are organized in the promoting and sale of arts and crafts in their communities, this is something relatively new to me. Because in a lot of small communities that I visited in the North, finding somebody who is an artisan and who has anything for sale in the community is like looking for a needle in a haystack most of the time and if you do find something, it’s very, very treasured.
Mr. Speaker, I guess it’s getting away from the business case for it, but a part of the tourism in the Northwest Territories is, again, to have access for visitors to view this particular area of culture in the NWT and I was wondering if the Minister could share with us what is being done to preserve and display something like the various art forms. What is being done by the government to preserve and display them for visitors and residents alike to enjoy? Thank you.
