Thank you. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of MACA, and I'd like to pursue further some of the questions that were raised in this House regarding the proposed new sport and recreation board. I've had a chance to talk to people more in the know about this issue, and I got some more information that I'd like to pursue with the Minister. What we were saying yesterday, and what I was asking, is that if the Minister and the board and the government feel that the Sport North board, as it exists now, is not meeting the needs of the people, then a simple thing to do is to facilitate better communication. I have one suggestion and that is whether or not the Minister would send his regional sports and recreation officer back to meet with the Sport North AGM and do that after they've been asked to go to all the community leaders and ask them what their concerns are, write up a report, go back to Sport North and have a discussion, instead of bringing a whole new policy, setting up a whole new board and creating a structure that nobody who is really doing the work is interested in. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
