Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, again in this area, I find severe and major problems in delivery of sport and recreation in the Northwest Territories. Our representation at territorial, national and international sporting events is one-sided. We seem to be very efficient at sending representation from regional centres, territorial centres, but we hardly ever send anyone from our communities.
That tells me that we are doing something wrong. This is an issue that we discussed on day one. We are going down that same road again. Whether it's a road of truth or not, that's for Mr. Lafferty and Mr. Handley to hash out. Mr. Chairman, it's a problem that's continuing. I have had the opportunity to review Sport North annual reports going back ten years. You look at the scholarships, the high performance, 90 percent are in regional centres, 90 percent. This was way before Nunavut left, Mr. Chairman. It seems that we have a sporting organization that represents a segment of our population and doesn't represent the other segment of our population very well.
I will be sharing information that I gathered from my colleagues when I have finished compiling the information I get. I am not there yet, but that information will tell my colleagues that delivery of sport and recreation is very one-sided. In fact, Mr. Chairman, the numbers in any other jurisdiction would warrant a review. Again, I think it's the attitude and philosophy we have as a government to deliver those programs and services. I don't want to ask questions because it's been demonstrated that we don't get the response, so I am just going to use the information that I have and try to educate. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
