I have to be a bit candid here. I'm not a particular advocate of arenas at this time. It seems to me it's a luxury and the money perhaps should be put to better use. However, that's just my personal opinion, it's not municipal policy. I meant curling rinks, sorry, did I say arenas? I meant curling rinks. Maybe it's just because my kids play hockey, I don't know. Anyway, the reality is that there is money allocated in the budget for 1996, 1997, and 1998. It's my understanding from Mr. Christensen here that there are ongoing discussions currently under way with the municipality to determine, in fact, if they want a curling rink or, as you've suggested, maybe some other use for those capital dollars. That decision will be made by the department in consultation with the municipality and certainly with the Member representing that area. Thank you.
