Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, when I look at the list of people that worked on the creation of this new sports board, I don't see a lot of names there from Sport North. The Minister says when you flip it around, you have 27 communities saying that they want a new structure, so who's left? I would say that Sport North is more than a board. I would say Sport North is all the volunteers across the Northwest Territories that contribute to these 18,000 hours of volunteer work that are put into it. I can tell you right now that from a lot of them we are hearing that they haven't asked for a new sport board. They are happy and are continuing to work in volunteer roles in trying to address the sports needs. I can inform the Minister that when I was on the sports board, we tried to react to small communities. What are we going to do for the new volunteers or what are you going to do with the volunteers now that are saying they don't want a new sport board? That's not the answer.
