Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, there's an issue that has come to light just recently and my colleague, Mrs. Groenewegen, recognized a very special athlete from Hay River that is achieving some feats that not to many northern athletes at his age have been able to accomplish and is really making strides as far as even representing Canada, for that matter. There's a very big gap in the Territories as far as finding funding for an athlete of this calibre when you start travelling internationally. I know that becomes very expensive. He's had a coach who has been working with him -- as Mrs. Groenewegen has said -- Mr. Bobinski. That coach continues to work with him when he's in Hay River. There's an issue now that we're going to have to somehow try and put some processes together to help this athlete along. I'm just wondering what kind of programs the department has or what willingness there would be at the department level to assist an athlete at this level, when they start accomplishing at that level. Are there any programs he would be able to tap into or any funding the department could be able to fund for this athlete? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
