Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, before I was even elected in the 19th Assembly, I had the opportunity to sit in on some of the engagements that were done for the NWT Art Strategy. It was pretty nostalgic because I can remember sitting in on them in the '80s with my mother. And so, yes, the changes were informed by the sector. There was extensive engagement done prior to the 19th Assembly. During the 19th Assembly, then Minister Simpson had the opportunity to release an art strategy in junction with ITI and Minister Wawzonek at that time. And so these changes were driven by that engagement. And one of the things that I can note when the changes were made was that I did hear from artists across the sector who found that the programs were more responsive to what they needed. So I hope to continue to hear from artists about funding from the GNWT and continue to hear from them as we work towards transitioning arts funding over to ITI as well. Thank you.
