Thank you, Madam Chair. The applications for this funding come through our sport and recreation organizations. The primary organizations we work are Sport North, the Recreation and Parks Association, the Aboriginal Sports Circle of the Northwest Territories. Within that, we also have 29 territorial sport organizations, and we also have regional recreation associations, as well.
Through the planning process, the sport, physical activity, and recreation framework, which has been a matter of discussion in this House and with our department, that framework document is intended to guide the investment of our government in this fund. That framework lays out the key areas where we want to invest as a government in terms of this sector. It also underlines some of our primary policy initiatives, one of which I would highlight is the Safe Sport initiative that comes out of the Red Deer conference where all Ministers made a declaration that sports should be harassment-free. It's initiatives like that that we build into the sport and recreation framework. That's how we use that framework to guide the investment of these funds. Organizations make applications. We review those applications against the framework. The Minister has the final say on who gets the funding. Thank you, Madam Chair.
