Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am prepared to meet with the Aboriginal Sports Circle representatives, especially if it can be done within the next three or four days while session is still on. In regards to meeting with all the representatives from Sport North, and recreation groups, that would take quite a while, especially since the most effective way would have been to call some kind of assembly to bring them all in. However, I did have a meeting with Sport North this morning, and Sport North is willing to take part in the June 25th meetings with the rest of the interim committee that was established to put together a plan for the operation of the new board. Sport North would not do that before. It appears after discussions with Sport North this morning, that this whole thing will come to a conclusion whereby everybody is back on track again. I am not saying it is going to be exactly the way it has been suggested up to now, but there may be some changes made or whatever. Whatever changes are proposed will be coming from the partners, not from the department. So that is where we are planning to go right now. I am hoping that the Member is not suggesting that I have to have a meeting with all these people in order to get this thing back on track. Thank you.
