Thank you, Madam Chair. Yeah, I guess that this is sort of again one of those areas where I think we need to shift our thinking. And rather than having a pot of money because we want to make this type of organization be able to put on an event, but instead we looked at these kinds of pots of money of, like, this is small community money; this is regional centre money; this is Yellowknife money. Everybody knows upfront what everybody's getting and then we allow the organizations within that -- that definition to then decide how they're spending their money themselves, whether that be an event, whether that be a sports meet. I don't really think the nature of the event really warrants a different administrative task. And maybe I'm wrong. But I think that is something that perhaps could ease some of the burden from -- particularly small communities of always having to apply for government funding or the onus being put back on them that well, there's money out there; what do you mean, you didn't get it? Like -- you know, and again, I come back to this government being a little bit -- it's difficult to find information and you don't know what you don't know and you can't ask questions that you don't know you should be asking sometimes. And I think we're burdening our small communities and our regional centres probably with unnecessary paperwork. Thank you.
