Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I wish to table the following document entitled NWT Arts Strategy Progress Report as of March 31, 2006. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have to apologize to the Member; it appears that he has a copy of a proposal that I haven’t yet seen. As soon as I get my hands on that, I would be happy to consider it and see where we might be able to move with it.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you, colleagues. Most actions outlined in the Framework for Action have been completed.
