Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, here in the Northwest Territories we agreed that we were going to work for healthy communities. However, Mr. Speaker, in most of our communities we do not have the facilities for exercise, a healthy environment where children and youth can hang out. The cost of development in the Northwest Territories is so high that when you do establish infrastructure in the communities it would be wise to look at different uses of that infrastructure.
In that light, Mr. Speaker, I was surprised to find out that the government does not have a multi-purpose facility program. I will be asking the Minister for Municipal and Community Affairs questions on that. In Lutselk'e, we are looking for an arena and we are hoping to add on a cafeteria, youth centre and a day care. It is very difficult. In Fort Resolution, the community and the youth are asking for a youth facility where they want to see a swimming pool and other facilities in there.
As a government, if we are going to provide infrastructure and the environment that is going to see a healthy environment for our young people to enjoy, then we as a government should have programs or policies that facilitate multi-use infrastructures. We cannot just have an arena or a school by itself, it just does not make sense. We should be able to build associate buildings so that we can use it for other purposes. An arena that will be used for three months out of the year is just not cost effective, Mr. Speaker. In that light, I am going to be asking the Minister responsible questions. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
