Thank you, Madam Chair. I can appreciate what the Minister has to say. The point that I am trying to make is as a government, we are going to make the decision to fund the Arctic Winter Games for a period of three years leading up to the games. Strictly from a budgeting perspective, Madam Chair, that should be clearly laid out and I don't think it should be dependent on which community hosts the games. That way communities know the level of funding they are going to be able to get and the department can budget for it. Right now, neither is there. To wait until a decision is made, it just seems like a backwards way of doing it. I would rather see it done in an open, transparent and accountable way and not done this way. Maybe the Minister would like to comment on that. Thank you.
