Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the area for 2006 Arctic Winter Games trials, what we found, and I have been informed of, was that the regional participation had increased significantly. That is part of the larger portion of the increased cost as well as the high cost of fuel which affects the charters that were used getting athletes to and from the centres where the trials were happening. As well, for example, in the Beaufort-Delta with the closure of the Inuvik high school which has a gymnasium, it would have helped in the delivery of this. It caused some problems where they had to get out to other communities and use other facilities, as well as the Liard ferry situation. When that was closed, it added additional expense in the travel budget area. Thank you.
