Mr. Chairman, this is one area in which I am always having difficulty. It is with regard to the amount of contributions that communities make as their share of the recreation facility. I do not really know whether you have a process in place to determine what the share of the community is, or the accountability that is in place for the recoveries. Is there an audit done? If there is, what is the sweat equity? How is it measured? How is it valued? I still have to refer back to 1983 when Fort Providence paid $250,000 as their contribution and they paid it up front to the government before the project started. Since that time I have never seen a substantial amount of recoveries by communities. I am most interested in finding out if the type of requirement that was given to Providence is not being applied at this point in time with regard to recoveries? Is it just an ad hoc thing that really depends on the community's ability to see whether or not they could raise money, or can or cannot afford it? What is the criteria? I am really interested.
