Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, there has been some work that has been ongoing. Our deputy ministers have been looking at the situation. Sport North, who is a partner in this with Volunteer NWT, has also been looking at discussions. The Volunteer Canada has also had a lot of discussion with their members on this. They've taken a position that they'd like to start lobbying the government, rather than...They want to take the position that they would take the opportunity to lobby the government to change their mind. Of course, we in the NWT have still the responsibility of trying to get the organization to continue working. We had, last year, supported the declaration towards volunteers in the NWT. We also developed a related action plan. We have not come to any conclusion as to the total impact of this, but it's something we're looking at and, of course, we're very concerned about. Thank you.
