I understand the Seniors’ Society direction on this, but it doesn’t change the fact that there are a large number of Northwest Territories individuals over 55 who participated in these games. I would like to actually go back and re-ask my previous question.

I was asking the Minister if she would commit to working with her ministerial partners, ITI and MACA and Health, to see if there is an opportunity to squeeze out a little bit of money to support these things. It is about working together and acknowledging the importance of these types of games from a big picture perspective, not just a health perspective. These people are our champions and they can really get out there and promote the Northwest Territories and maybe encourage some people to come and visit our fine Territory.

To the Minister: will she work with her colleagues to try and find some additional dollars to support this initiative? Thank you.
