Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It seems odd that we can find money for hundreds of thousands of dollars for contracts for previous Ministers and Members but we can’t find a little bit of money to support up to 100 individuals over 55 who are very interested in attending these games and promoting the Northwest Territories, which goes to our strategies of promoting this place as a fine place to come visit and whatnot.
I would like to have the Minister, or get the Minister’s commitment to meet with some of these individuals who wish to participate in these 55-plus Games and talk about possible funding options. It’s my understanding that these individuals want to work through Sport North as an organization to help them do the coordination. That’s all they’re asking for. They’re not asking for the departments to pay their way. They’re asking for some administrative support money to help them organize so that they
can go as a cohesive team rather than a bunch of individuals. So will the Minister please do that? Thank you.
