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?
