Thank you, Madam Speaker. From the response to my question, is sounds like the Minister is agreeing that she will continue that particular policy. If that's the case, then I would like to ask the Minister another question.
Madam Speaker, a number of athletes from my region recently approached the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs and asked for assistance to travel to the North American Indigenous Games next summer. It is my understanding, Madam Speaker, that the department has turned them down. Was this rejection in keeping with the policy that I mentioned earlier?
