Mr. Speaker, the design would not be the problem. The projected cost of the arena is over two million dollars, and, frankly, I am concerned about the community's ability to contribute their share of the capital costs to that arena because they have yet to discharge the contribution promised for the community gym. My feeling is that they should make the contribution that was promised for the facility that was just opened, and discharge this financial obligation, before we talk about advancing the next recreation project. As I said, we are quite willing to discuss this with the Member and, perhaps, with the community. The previous obligations should be discharged by the community before they start asking for another recreation facility. Thank you.
