Can the Minister advise us why -- if you look at the mobile equipment in various headquarters and mobile equipment in Fort Smith and Inuvik and the Baffin, it appears that the Keewatin has basically half or three-quarters of the amount that was allocated. Can the Minister indicate why the Keewatin gets only $36,000 and the Kitikmeot gets only $30,000, but regions such as the Baffin get $60,000 and Inuvik $75,000? Can he explain the difference in how this equipment is allocated?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. How much funding we provide to a certain region is based on need. It also depends whether or not the community or the region has purchased mobile equipment within the previous years, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, in last year's expenditure there was the Chan Lake tower under Fort Smith buildings and works for $15,000. If you look at the expenditure that was done last year, it is reflected in the "prior years'" column except that in Fort Smith this year, they have Fort Resolution and a heliport in Fort Smith, but it does not show the prior year's expenditure. It does not show the Chan Lake tower.

In 1991-92, we spent approximately $125,000 in refitting a number of towers which, I believe, included the Chan Lake tower as well as a number of others around the NWT. They were lumped into one project. The item just above the fire towers, the $25,000, is a carry-over completion of that project.
