Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I would like to declare a conflict of interest and withdraw from the House when the activity of sport and recreation is being consider. Mr. Chairman, I own shares in the radio station, CJCD, which has entered into advertising contracts with Sport North, and accordingly there is potential that my business might benefit from funds appropriated under this activity. I am declaring a conflict and withdrawing.

Thank you. If that is the breakdown on pages 11-18 and 11-19, the contribution for Sport North is $225,000, I know it was $225,000 last year, however, the year before it was $726,000. It is to deliver programs on behalf of the GNWT as identified under terms of legal agreement signed between the Minister and Sport North. Can the Minister indicate to this House the parameters of the legal agreement? Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, it is somewhat shameful when this Minister's department is going to give $250,000 to an organization and they do not know what it is for. Therefore, Mr. Chairman, I move to defer pages 11-14 until we can receive more of the detailed information.

Mr. Chairman, I believe that under this activity we will find the funding for the NWT Association of Municipalities. In the opening comments by the Standing Committee on Finance it was noted that the Standing Committee on Finance feels that the association should have its funding increased. Could we ask the Minister to advise as to whether or not this has been looked at?
