Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, sports and recreation is becoming more and more of a big demand in the communities and it is taking on a higher profile as well in the NWT. I believe the government has responded in one way to have a youth secretariat under MACA, but primarily to address youth initiatives. However, there is going to be some overlap into sports, no doubt. Sports and recreation still remains with MACA. MACA, as I said earlier in this House, is in the process of creating an NWT sports board and we are hoping the outcome of the board is they will be giving some clear direction to MACA as to what programs we should be implementing, what sports activities we should be paying the most attention to, and we are hoping this information is coming right from the grassroots communities through the sports organizations. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
