Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Maybe there's other money available through the government that I'm not aware of, but when I look at the recreation, NWT Games, Arctic Winter Games, Canada Winter Games, there's a whole lot of youth dollars that are going towards kids who have inclination towards sports and sports are good, sports are healthy, it's good for kids all around to be involved in those kinds of things. It takes money for kids to be involved in these not only on the part of the government, but on the part of their parent. Also, like I said, I don't have a lot of detail, but some of the activities too that the Minister listed off, taking kids to the Aboriginal Achievement Awards, again, we're talking about kind of an elite few here and there's a whole lot of kids in the Northwest Territories that cannot, for various reasons, access sports activities that are kind of booting around their communities without a lot to do and not a lot of supervision and, in some instances, creating some difficulty for themselves and their communities.
I would like to know if there is any money that's been set aside that is proposal based that could go to fund some of our struggling youth centres where volunteers in the
communities are trying to create activities, keep kids out of trouble and those who maybe either aren't inclined to sports or their parents don't have the volunteer hours to put into it or don't want to and maybe don't have the financial wherewithal to set kids up with all the equipment and things you need to get involved in those sorts of things. I would rather to have seen at least somewhere a pot of money where some of the youth centres, and I don't know who supplies money like to the SideDoor in Yellowknife, for example. They're doing wonderful work with some of the more marginalized and needy, I would say, youth in the community, and in Hay River we had to shut down the youth centre because of lack of funding. Yet the money we would use to take a few handfuls of kids to the Aboriginal Achievement Awards would probably keep the youth centre in Hay River going for six months. So where is the money for our youth centres that are struggling and hanging on by a thread? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
