Petition 1-18(3): Using Lottery Money to Fund the Arts

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to present a petition supporting the matter of using lottery money to fund the arts.

Mr. Speaker, the petition contains 314 electronic signatures of Northwest Territories residents and, Mr. Speaker, the petitioners request that the Government of Northwest Territories amend the Lottery Act to allow for lottery money to be disbursed to artistic endeavours. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
