Mahsi, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs. I was very pleased when she provided some information on the international indigenous games, which she said she would be supporting. I am also very interested on a personal level, because I pretend to be an athlete, even though this body doesn't look like one.

I've had opportunities to participate in these games as an official and as an athlete, but due to the political career I took on, I had to forego those opportunities. There are many athletes in the Northwest Territories, Inuit, Dene, Metis, who are eligible for these games. Knowing the international level through Arctic Winter Games and other national sporting events, people who participate work very hard and are very proud to represent the Northwest Territories and the region they are from.

My question is, will the Government of the Northwest Territories be supporting team Northwest Territories for the 1995 indigenous games, scheduled for Bemidji, Minnesota?
