Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Another issue I am going to touch on is a letter that I had sent on February 06, 1997, which I received from the hamlet of Fort McPherson and also the recreation committee looking at fund-raising for a curling rink, which was destroyed five or six years ago because of a fire. There is a real push to find resources and ways of possibly building a curling facility because this is one facility that, especially in the Mackenzie Delta where a lot of curling takes place, people are able to travel to every weekend, go to a curling bonspiel and it is an activity that the whole community can take part in. In regards to hockey rinks and what not that they mentioned in the letter that I sent, there was a community recreation committee looking at a fund-raising attempt to cost share a possible curling rink facility with the department along with the hamlet, and the fund-raising committee, especially now that we have with the cut-backs not as much resources around, that there is a possibility of joint ventures or looking at a way of building infrastructure using other people's revenues. That is something that we should seriously look at. So I would like to ask the Minister if her department is looking at the possibility of a venture such as those in other areas besides recreation facilities.
