I thank Professor Rafter for the comprehensive overview of where the Arts Council is at and, more important, where our artists are at. As my colleagues are aware, they have three minutes each for questions and answers. This is not the long session we normally have and it is being cut a little short. I ask members to be mindful of this with regard to eliciting the answers they might want.
