Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to pursue the same line of questioning to the Minister of MACA with regard to the changes that the Minister is pursuing. Mr. Speaker, I have to check the Hansard and I guess the Minister has to too, but I must say I am very disturbed by the answers the Minister has given, especially with respect to the mission of this review because to me, by that answer, he has insulted and offended the work of a very long and dedicated history of Sport North, which is run by staff and dedicated volunteers, Mr. Speaker. I had no idea that the whole idea of this review of this structure is because the board wasn't doing its job apparently. Mr. Speaker, I would suggest to the Minister that the problem is that this government has cut the budget for sports and recreation for so many years and given all the work to Sport North, they survive and do their jobs the best they can with the lottery money and now we are in a dog fight as to what is going to happen with the governance of Sport North. Why doesn't the MACA Minister go to Cabinet and get more money for Sport North instead of getting involved in the middle of a major argument about what to do with the small amount of money they have? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
