Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and thank you, Mr. Minister, for talking about process. Mr. Speaker, I think this Minister can make the policy commitment today. Now, he said earlier about he won't stand up here in the House and help direct these things, but I think he can. Being in charge of MACA, he can say our policy initiative will be to put gymnasiums in these communities. We talked about $1.5 million out of his words. Well, the government can stand by and watch the diamond producers and the diamond cutters waste territorial dollars, between them arguing over who is responsible who is going to give diamonds. So we can watch $3 million or $4 million dollars go to waste over procedures and policies and process, but we can't make a policy decision that would keep our kids off the street. Will the Minister address this problem through a policy, because our youth today are going to be our adults with problems tomorrow. So will he address this through a policy? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
