Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, that was another one of the touchy points that was mentioned in Sport North press releases; Municipal and Community Affairs' non-recognition of the volunteer aspect of all this in sports. I believe that that's not an accurate statement because this government has made a number of efforts and continues to make a number of efforts to recognize volunteers, not only in sports, but in all aspects of public life and for all aspects of the social services that are supplied to the general public. We do make efforts to recognize the volunteers involved and we will continue to do it. The formation of this new board is not going to do away, as far as I know, with any recognition or need for volunteers and the department is well aware of that.
