Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs. It is with regard to an issue involving Sport North and the 1996 Arctic Winter Games. I have a young constituent who is going to the University of Alberta who is a very good volleyball player but, unfortunately, there is no organized volleyball in Hay River or Fort Smith. He has been asked to play on the team from Yellowknife to help represent or possibly represent the Northwest Territories but has been told that because of the policy of the department or of Sport North that you have to play on teams within your region or your community, he will be unable to participate. My question to the Minister is, given the facts that she's aware of, given the fact that this is the yuletide season and a time for giving, understanding and compassion, would she be prepared to reconsider the position taken by her department on this particular issue?
