Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I recently attended a dinner and sports awards of the Aboriginal Sports Circle. Some of the award winners spoke about the importance of sports in the small communities. These were parents, mothers and fathers talking about all the work they did in fundraising and making sure their children participated in sports. They all spoke about how important it was, how it made sure it kept the children off the streets, it kept them engaged and how important it was for the youth of their community. Certainly sports facilities I think are very important. I know municipalities, there’s a gas tax deal, there’s a New Deal, and I think that’s something we should look at. I guess I say that politics is the art of the possible, so I think it’s something that we should look at, very similar to Northland, to see what we can do to work with the community to deal with this very important project for the community of Behchoko.
