Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, an issue has come to light here, and I know the Arctic Winter Games is coming to Yellowknife here in March of 2008 and the trials are going to be coming up here. There’s been an issue with the selection process as it pertains to soccer teams and rules being changed mid-stream. There were rules in place and the Department of MACA has made a decision to waive rules that were in place governing the selection process. I do want to thank the Minister for taking the time to get me some background material and meeting with me on this, but I really do think that we need to come up with a better explanation for the governing bodies out there who make the rules for sport in the Northwest Territories as to why rules were changed mid-stream. So if I could ask the Minister why were the rules changed mid-stream to allow players to access regional teams? Thank you.
