Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as I outlined yesterday, the purpose for this whole review of Sport North's board and whether or not we should have the creation of a new territorial board was something born at least two years ago. At that time, as I said, Sport North was given the opportunity by the previous Minister to change the structure of their board to allow a better representation for smaller communities because of the concerns expressed by the smaller communities that there was not representation at that level and they felt that they were not taking part in decision-making or having an opportunity to take part in the sports activities at a territorial or national level. It's the same with the larger centres.

Sport North did not respond. So the Minster at the time went back to the Sport North partners and asked them to consider other ways of addressing this particular issue of no representation. What was born out of that was the creation of a proposed territorial sports board. There was a number of consultation meetings that took place as a result of this, including two meetings where all Sport North partners and territorial sports organizations were present, as well as recreation leaders. They all took part in the recommendation and formation of this board. Thank you.
