Finance committee  Yes.

Finance committee  Go ahead. I'll talk about small business.

Finance committee  I think the RInC program is a good program. My understanding of it, though, is that it reacts more to facilities that are in need of repair, as opposed to when new facilities are needed. I think the last major infrastructure program right across this country, prior to the previous Building Canada fund, was in 1967.

Finance committee  Very quickly, obviously infrastructure is key to providing programming. We talk all the time about how safe accessible infrastructure is very, very important, from the smallest communities to our larger communities. It's critical to what we do in sport and physical activity development.

Finance committee  Traditionally, from the perspective of the sport delivery system in Canada, the provincial government has a fair amount of responsibility in providing resources. This is right across the country. In each jurisdiction, the provincial government has the responsibility. The federal government, from a program perspective, has some influence there.

Finance committee  Well, we are. We're hopefully giving them opportunity. I think that's long range. We haven't had the opportunity to really delve into what impacts we're having over the long term, but anecdotally, I think we're finding that we're making some significant strides in a fairly short period of time in diverting some of the activity of those who have sort of a history of getting into criminal activity.

Finance committee  Definitely. It's partnerships within the community. We also find the RCMP being a critical partner in those communities.

Finance committee  I can do that.

Finance committee  What we find, and I'll use the aboriginal community as an example, is that to increase the level of activity and programming, especially in northern remote communities, it's very important for us to develop leaders within those communities. We have had programs for which we have parachuted in program leaders for short periods of time.

Finance committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. My name is Jeff Hnatiuk. I'm the president and CEO of Sport Manitoba. Ours is a provincial-based organization, but we believe very strongly that some unique models that we have in Manitoba can have implications on sport delivery and programming across the country.
