Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I grant to the Minister that maybe it's not his government, but I remember a time when there was a whole department responsible for sports and recreation in the Department of MACA or whatever its predecessor was, and now we have a situation where, other than the capital funding, most of the burden of delivering sports programs is done by Sport North. Mr. Speaker, I still believe that this is a question of leadership and lack of financing. The Minister has already indicated he has more questions than answers about this and he suggested that Sport North is not serving the public. Knowing the way the lottery money is spent and the mandate of Sport North, they have a very close relationship with the Minister. So I would like to know what he has done in terms of talking to Sport North or meeting with them and reviewing their mandate and responsibilities in order to help them do their job, if there are concerns in the communities about what they are doing. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
