Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, under sport and recreation, Sport North Federation is the major source of funds for the Arctic Winter Games and other sports programs run by the Northwest Territories. However, in the Nunavut region, we still have the same situation that I've mentioned before and I would just like an update from the Minister concerning the availability of the lotto terminals so that we can pay our way supporting Sport North. We don't have the Lotto 649 terminals in our region and all of the money generated to pay for these programs out of the 649 sales comes from the West. I wonder if there's any update on that from the Minister. Thank you.

(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just want to make a comment. In Pangnirtung, there is already an arena and they are also building an arena in Broughton Island. The Pangnirtung arena is being utilized by the people of the community. They use it for such a short period of time. This has become a concern. They are also building an arena in Broughton Island. I don't have any updates as to how the building is coming along. In Clyde River, they don't have an arena and they have requested an arena in writing to me, as well as to the Minister. I am wondering when Clyde River will be allocated some funding for a sports complex, mainly an arena. Thank you, Mr. Chairman,
