Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, some of our sports partners actually had the same concern as the Member. That's why they had organizational meetings as to how to address this particular concern. They have had these meetings, including Sport North, and the overall agreement is that an NWT sports board would be created which would give direction to Sport North as to how they spend their finances. In the past, they felt that the small communities didn't have all that much input into those decisions. So small communities are now being given the opportunity to do this through their regional sports groups and bring their concerns to the NWT sports board, once it's created. It will be at that level that the decision would be how Sport North would spend the lottery funding. I appreciate the concern the Member has brought up. We are planning to see what results come out of the final meeting they have planned. I believe it's for next month. Hopefully we can see some movement on the board being established. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
