Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there has been, over the last couple of years since I have been Minister of MACA, some dissatisfaction with Sport North and how they spend their funding. However, that's the purpose of the creation of the sports board, which would give direction to Sport North as to how they would be spending their funding in the future. It is the intent of MACA to see some of that funding go to the grassroots communities as well. How that's going to happen is we will leave that up to the board to create their own plans. In relation to the reason for the creation of the youth secretariat, Mr. Speaker, as I said earlier, the youth secretariat was created specifically to address youth and to encourage active living of youth and also there is no doubt there is going to be some overlap between youth activities in sports and MACA sports and recreation activities. You can't help having some overlap, but we will try to limit it by working together, so that we can take as much advantage of our funding as possible. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
