Mr. Speaker, in regard to the possibility of looking at the grant program, or even, like I say, instead of spending all the money to go to large regional or territorial events, that we can format the basic programs so that we get people to pick from the different regions to format the territorial team so we have regional representation on the territorial teams and give the athletes in all regions an opportunity to partake and show us what they’re capable of in regard to those different activities. Again, I think that we have to find a way that we’re not putting the burden on our athletes to partake in territorial events. There’s a way that we can get around it, such as I mentioned, if there are bursaries that we can give to those students and maybe consider more regional trial playoffs. Again, we have to find a way to not have to burden our athletes. So I would like to ask the Minister: is there a possibility of different types of bursaries that we can provide to these athletes to assist them either in travel so that they can partake in these events?
