Senator Henry referred to the five year arts plan and requested that the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism come before the House. I agree with her in this regard. One wonders if there should not be a long-term debate on these matters and, in particular, on the question of funding. When money is abundant, it is spent, and when it is not, many of the groups involved in the arts must suspend their operations and are unable to continue their work. It means many arts groups are unable to continue their work.
