Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I don't know if we have the information that the Member is asking for, but in today's time, there is a change with creation of Nunavut coming on. The cost associated with the creation of Nunavut is something that will have to be dealt with. To answer the particular question with regard to how much the government is spending or will be spending on such activities as the Arctic Winter Games, I am not able to respond to because they change with different locations that the Arctic Winter Games are in. I will also indicate, if my memory serves me correctly, that the funds that are used for the participation of our athletes in these particular Arctic Winter Games is around $450,000, which constitutes approximately 30 per cent of the costs associated with the Arctic Winter Games. That is, again, from memory. I believe 30 per cent is the amount that the government contributes. The rest is raised by Sport North Federation. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
