Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it does seem that there is quite a bit of unhappiness about the establishment of this new board within the Sport North organization and with some of the territorial sport organizations as well. One of their concerns is that this forms another level of administration which is going to eat up dollars that could go directly to supporting young people in recreation and sport activities. Could the Minister just kind of briefly outline for me what was the impetus behind the establishment of this board? It is quite a significant overhaul of how money is distributed and how sport and recreation is overseen. It is quite a change and I am just wondering, what was the driving force or the impetus for this change? Where did it come from? Thank you.
