Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Are we involved in this fairly substantial announcement, Mr. Speaker? This involves $42 million. A large amount of money is being allocated, are we involved in this strategy?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have the documents and I am not a Cabinet Minister any more. It has been one week, we did not just get this. This just did not pop out of the blue. Are we involved in this program?

Mr. Speaker, I would like to get clarification whether he is talking about our own program on AIDS or a federal government program. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My supplementary, supplementary. Yes, Mr. Speaker, it is the national AIDS strategy, and national means, I gather, all the provinces in Canada including the two territories. Is the Northwest Territories involved in this national AIDS strategy?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is directed to the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs. Earlier today, the Minister returned a reply to one of the questions I raised yesterday in regard to the North American aboriginal summer games which are going to be held in Saskatchewan. Mr. Speaker, in his reply the Minister indicated he will be consulting with the regional Inuit and Dene games association to see if they had made any inquiries or plans to support groups which are going to be participating in the summer games. Although it is the department's prerogative to see what these other groups are doing, I do not think it would really matter at this point in time, Mr. Speaker, because time is of the essence. I do not believe we could participate at a community or regional level now because it is approaching upon us very rapidly. What other plans is the department looking at? What is the other process if these groups do not have any plans for their participation at the summer games, what is the department going to do? How are they going to handle the requests being made from various sporting groups?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. For this particular event this summer, we have been treating it on a case by case basis. We have had a couple of inquiries, but we have not received any proposals from communities. I would welcome any proposals from the communities of the Northwest Territories if they want to be part of the aboriginal summer games. I would also encourage the Member if he wishes to let his constituents participate in this event, to encourage them to put together a proposal. Thank you.

Supplementary, Mr. Speaker. The Minister indicated earlier and in his recent response, that the department is willing to support. I assume he is making reference to financial support. What type of financial support would these individual sporting groups receive? Would that be determined by the make up of the team or is there a specific amount the department provides? How are they doing to determine this financial support?
