Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I believe the question was, what have I done as far as meeting with Sport North and assisting them with direction to how they can address these particular issues that are being brought up by the smaller communities and by the smaller territorial sports organizations. Well, we have directed Sport North in the past to change their board structure to allow for this participation by smaller recreation and sports groups, but Sport North chose not to respond. That is why we went back, as I said earlier, and went to sports and recreation organizations and asked them what would be their recommendation on how to address the situation. That was the end result of where the proposed sports board came from. Sport North did take part up to the recommendations. They took part in the formation and recommendations of the formation of the sports board until this meeting on May 25th, as far as we know, and probably because of this particular concern we did not have representation, myself or the deputy minister, at the Sport North annual general meeting because there was no indication that Sport North was opposed to this new board. They were taking part in forming it up until that point. Thank you.
