Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, is the Sport North organization part of the active positions or is it part of Municipal and Community Affairs?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, as an organization that is funded heavily by the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs, does the Sport North organization follow the Affirmative Action Policy in its hiring practices? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, Sport North is governed by a policy as to how they can spend their lottery funding. That's the policy that gives direction to Sport North.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Is the Minister telling us that Sport North does not have to follow government's Affirmative Action Policy?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, we don't direct Sport North with their staff. We just direct Sport North as to how they can spend their lottery funding. We don't give any direction for that. Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, Sport North is an arm's-length institution of government. Would it be comparable to the Power Corporation or the Housing Corporation in that sense?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I don't think you could interpret Sport North a part of the government at all. They are just an organization that has the authority to raise revenue through lotteries. The lottery policy governs how they can spend that funding. That's the only connection between us and Sport North. They must follow our policies with regard to how the expenditures from lotteries is spent. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, is Sport North mandated to deliver sport and recreation programs using the revenues collected through the lottery system? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, as a mandated organization that is mandated to deliver programs across the board, maybe it's high time the Sport North organization adopts some of our government policies and social policies such as the Affirmative Action Policy. I would like to ask the Minister if he would work towards that realization. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
