Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as for the responsibility to get our athletes prepared, that's the coaches at the local level. We do have funding programs there. There's been some challenges with the teams and you've seen it in the press. We do have a potential solution. We haven't taken it to committee yet and I want to make sure I take it to committee so that they can get the -- government operations, so they can see what's going on, what we're proposing. Then we will make it public. But right now, we were working with our communities. There's regional organizations called the Mackenzie Recreation Association in the Beaufort Delta. Sahtu Recreation Association as well. They meet, the communities meet, they come up with a plan when they're going to do events. There's also funding available through various Municipal and Community Affairs programs, and there's sport and rec councils, the Mackenzie rec and the BDSARA. There's funding there available that communities can access it. And we've worked on with aboriginal circle as well, building our athletes up. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
