Thank you, Madam Chair. Increasing that support is largely linked to the work that is occurring on the NWT Arts Strategy, which I recognize is a joint venture by ITI and ECE. Perhaps the Minister could update me if any progress has been made on increasing support for film and specifically a model that is more of a film producers' incentive program. The way the film industry works is it's very similar to the mining industry. One in a thousand projects go forward, but, when they do, they are very significant. We have the possibility of pulling multimillion-dollar movie productions to the North, but that requires producers taking some risk. I think the small rebates here really are not that up-front investment that they need to grow the film industry. If the Minister could provide an update on any work that's being done out of the Arts Strategy or elsewhere in ITI to develop a film producers incentive program or something similar that expands just this $100,000 we currently have? Thank you, Madam Chair.
