Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In 1970 we had the Arctic Winter Games. These games and the regional trials for them provided people from across the territories to gather together and share with each other. As games grew bigger and became more sophisticated, we have seen the rise of other events, such as the regional games, community games, aboriginal games, Dene and Inuit games and other sporting games which seem to try to catch the feeling of the original Arctic Winter Games. As the department responsible for sports and recreation, the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs should be reviewing all of these games and developing a policy which should guide funding and, in kind, support decisions made by the department.

My question to the Minister is, has the department undertaken this type of review? Thank you.
