Thank you. It is my understanding that the Arctic Winter Games International Committee had a meeting there and deleting the biathlon was discussed. My understanding was they were going to go ahead and not include the biathlon at the next Arctic Winter Games. However, I understand there might still be a possibility of trying to do something about it. I think there is some time there to see whether there is something that we can do about the biathlon.

If they are not going to have a biathlon event at the next Arctic Winter Games, my suggestion is that we have to do something for the biathlon athletes. I agree with Members in the House that there are many athletes in the Northwest Territories that participate in this event. By not including it in the next Arctic Winter Games, it would be a real blow to this event. We need to do something about it.

There still might be an opportunity to try to convince them to do something about it. But if a decision has been made and if it is firm, then I have to find out about it. Thank you.
