Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, since the last session in June, I have met with Sport North and the Aboriginal Sports Circle to discuss the issues that were raised in the House at the June session, and the end result of that was that Sport North agreed to continue working towards establishing an NWT sports and recreation board which is now known as a council. Over the summer, the interim coordinating team which Sport North is taking part in, although cautiously, met three times and they were planning another meeting I believe for September 26. I am not sure if that one was held or not, but they are still working towards establishing the board. My intent is to have a document tabled in the House in the next few days, outlining the sports and recreation policy that I have planned to put in place early in October. With that, there will also be changes to the lottery regulations. Once that happens what would be left to do then is to have the sports and recreation board officially established, possibly by April of next year. Thank you.
