Thank you, Mr.

Chair. With

respect to regional operations, the Minister and the ministry are well aware that I tendered many, many motions at this particular sitting. I’d had a huge outcry from my riding and all my communities about the importance of the regional operations, the community development worker, the recreation and the sports, recreation and youth operations in the Deh Cho region. I have received many, many petitions and e-mails, which I’ve forwarded to the department. I was told that because of this work we’re able to save all the recreation workers in all the regions.

I also believe that the intent — the intent of my communities, the leadership, the youth that filed those petitions with me and I with the House — was to save our sports, recreation and youth regional cap.

While we’re very happy to have the recreation coordinator positions kept, there’s still one more important worker that does important work in our community, in our Deh Cho region, in the Nahendeh riding. That was the youth worker, the youth program officer position.

With that, Mr.

Chair, I’ve been doing some

research. Because it is a deletion, I would like to move a motion with regard to that position in this line item, Mr. Chair. With that, I’ve got a committee motion.
