Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for his short question.
I share his concern that the Nordic Games be a great success because I think it will bring a lot of tourism and business to North Bay.
The federal government has committed $2 million and is honouring its commitment. It is looking into the possibility of providing services to make sure that the games are a success. We are in close consultation with the minister concerned in Ontario and with the mayor of Thunder Bay. I am confident that putting our efforts together will ensure great games at Thunder Bay.
