Masi, Madam Chair. [Translation] When I was campaigning, I sat with the Mayor of Yellowknife, and she has also expressed her concern. All of the mayors of the Northwest Territories also spoke with us about this issue, about the community funding gap. Why is it that there is a gap? That is why we are here asking questions about it. In the past, when you look at how their concern about it, why are they concerned about the gap? Wellness to be saved in a small community and there is not enough funding, they can't live properly in the community, especially with water. If it's less capital funding, it's no good.

We have to re-evaluate and look at it. How can we do something different? I think that we should revisit that. Why is it there is less funding for that? I know that we can always meet with the mayor, and we can also express our concern. I know that we can't always fix everything, but we can fix some things to help the people. It seems like we are doing a little bit here and there, and we can't seem to get ahead. I think that we should get together, try to resolve this issue, and move ahead. We need capital funding if we are to do any big projects. That is what I think. Thank you. [Translation ends]
