Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the two regions decided that they wanted to cross-fill some positions that were vacant on their team. There were a number of players that did not have teams to play on. There were a number of communities that didn’t have teams try out at all. In this instance with soccer, there were two players from Fort Smith that had no team to play on. Fort Smith did not have a team in that division. They requested, and were allowed, to try out for the Mackenzie regional team which had one vacant position. That position was filled by one player from Fort Smith. The other one was not selected and does not have a team to play on now. Yes, there was an allowance made for cross-filling the positions in the vacant positions on teams.

Yellowknife didn’t have the same opportunity because every team position was filled in every category and there was no need to look at cross-filling from another region, Mr. Speaker. The sports organizations didn’t allow Yellowknife to try out for another region because they had an opportunity to try out in Yellowknife. That was the reason, Mr. Speaker.
