Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Perhaps if I could indicate, first of all, the new sports policy hasn't been completed yet by MACA. In there would be some recognition of the fact that this is not just sports and recreation, this is related to active living. That's one point. The second point is we are right now partnering with Sports Canada in funding arrangements whereby we meet them 50/50 with some contributions they are giving us with some sports activities, but it's really related to active living. It's to encourage active living in all communities, not just the small ones. It's not a large fund at this time, but I believe me and my officials are in the process of negotiating and signing that off right now while the games are going on in Bathurst. So it's in the final stages. It's an agreement between all three territories. The third point is we are, at the present time, participating with health and social services, on an active living strategy which would work towards identifying what we can do to encourage active living at all levels, not just young people but even seniors.
