Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the department is prepared to consider the definition of a sled and work with the communities as to what they might want to define as a sled.
The purpose of the legislation is to allow the communities to define whatever they want as a sled. I realize the Member's concern here for people in the small communities who really do not want to have legislation requiring them to wear protective head-gear, especially at certain times of the year when it may be very awkward, maybe even un-realistic.
At the same time, it is not the intent of the department to suggest to the communities what they may wish to define as a sled. However, the department is willing to put forward a suggestion and bring it to the House, possibly in June, as to what we feel would be the reasonable definition of a sled. We would still allow the communities to come up with their own definition.
