Madam Chair, the Member asked a similar question in I think it was business main estimates last year and I committed to having the department go and do an analysis of the space available where we could actually hang pictures or display art, with parameters being it has to be the public area in the buildings rather than, say, office areas or areas that aren’t open to the public.

The department is doing that analysis. We have some early numbers. There is not as much public space as you might imagine, so we are just trying to explore our definition of what is public space.

Once we have that analysis done and we have a sense of the space, we were going to approach some of the different art organizations in the Northwest Territories to have some discussions on what they are thinking. What do they want to have displayed? Where do they want to have it displayed? Who would be responsible for hanging

it? What are the insurance requirements in case things get damaged?

Before we go to them, we want to have a sense of how much space we’re talking about. We don’t want to give anybody false hope that there’s a lot of space. Frankly, right now we still don’t have our heads completely around what space would be considered public on our walls in places that we rent and/or own. So we are working on it. It’s going forward.
