Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you, colleagues. As I stated, I think it is important this government makes an investment in our communities by putting money into improving existing facilities. We have hockey rinks we are not able to make use of during the summer season.
But I think a simple gesture by this government, but finding a program that can be carried out right across the Western Territory by simply putting concrete in those facilities so that we can use those facilities year-round, in the winter for hockey and Arctic sports, and also in the summer for rollerblading, indoor soccer and other events. These facilities would then get the maximum potential, allowing the athletes in our communities to achieve their goals and be competitive nationally and territorially.
I would like to suggest that the government seriously consider that. With that, I would like to wish all of the athletes that are going to the Arctic Winter Games from across the Northwest Territories all the best, and I look forward to seeing them in Whitehorse between March 5th to the 10th. With that, all the best. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
