Thank you, Madam Chair. This has been an ongoing issue. Since the policy discussion paper was released, I hear from the people at the grassroots level involved in sports and managing of the sports and so on. I will get their feedback and then I talk to the department and then the standard answer seems to be we are having a workshop. Then when I ask questions again, we haven't had that workshop yet but we are going to have another one in March. Last time I asked, I thought there were workshops for October already and there might have been some other type of workshop to tighten this up in December, but it appears now that we are going to have another workshop in March. I guess my question would be is it safe to assume now that the department has enough consensus or buy-in or willingness or whatever? Is it safe to assume that we are going to see the department going with the new form of board, sports and...I forget the exact name for this. The new board that's going to take over the whole sporting structure. Is that an accepted premise that we are going to see this happening and that the task now is to just work out the details of the membership and so forth? Is that something that's been agreed on?
