Thank you, Mr. Chairman. With regard to Sport North, could the Minister inform the committee as to what progress has been made toward obtaining new storefront accommodations for Sport North? I am aware that Sport North has requested assistance from the Government of the Northwest Territories, through the Minister, to acquire storefront accommodation that would make them more accessible to the public than their present location. I am also aware that they have also applied to the government for assistance with finding space to possibly establish a sports hall of fame for the Northwest Territories. Could the Minister tell the committee whether there is any progress made in these directions, new more accessible office space and space for the sports hall of fame that Sport North is proposing to establish to recognize athletes in the Northwest Territories who have made historic contributions?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We have made good progress on this issue. About a half an hour

ago, Mr. Todd and I met with Sport North to deal with this issue. We are still trying to find ways to accommodate them. We are making great progress in this area. I hope at some point in the future, we will be able to complete, satisfactory to all parties, what Mr. Patterson started. Thank you.
