Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions today are for the Minister responsible for Seniors and are in follow-up to my Member’s statement.
In my Member’s statement, I talked about participation in the 55-plus Canada Games, which I understand a large number of seniors across the NWT participate in. There are a number of advantages for seniors to actually attend these games, both for the individuals over 55 as well as for the Territory as a whole. Unfortunately, it appears that funding has been cancelled. Would the Minister responsible for Seniors please commit to restoring some funding between $25,000 and $50,000 to assist these local athletes over 55
participating in these games and promote the Northwest Territories? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
