Mahsi cho, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I can't agree with Ms. Lee's statement. Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate the participants who will be travelling to the Canada Winter Games next week on the 28th. Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate all the athletes who have worked so hard to get there, all the mission staff. However, Mr. Speaker, I continue to be troubled by the lack of participation by those athletes in the smaller communities. Having a quick glance at the representation at the Winter Games, I see the majority of the athletes once again come from the city of Yellowknife where all the facilities are, where all the staff and coaches are. I am going to be asking the Minister of MACA why is it that we continue to see over-representation from one area or regional centre and hardly any representation outside of mission staff from the smaller communities. This is an issue that I have brought to the House when I got elected. I was hoping to see a shift in how programs and services are delivered to the communities, how our resources are shared with the smaller communities, so that maybe we could get better coaching, better facilities, in those communities so that those people living in smaller communities can participate in our national pastimes. Obviously, Mr. Speaker, that has not happened yet. I am going to be asking the Minister why we continue to see high representation from the regional centres, specifically Yellowknife, and hardly any representation from outside. I would like to congratulate one member of my community who is going and that's Tausia Lal, the recreation coordinator from Fort Resolution who is on mission staff. Congratulations, Tausia. It would have been nice to see some of our athletes go with you, but unfortunately not this year. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
