Mr. Speaker, we had been approached and responded to requests from the City of Yellowknife to develop a block funding arrangement in anticipation of the new policy's coming into effect. I should inform the Member that it has not been possible to conclude a block funding agreement with Yellowknife at this time. But I can assure him that the department, and indeed the government, is certainly open to continuing those discussions with the City of Yellowknife and with other municipalities who may be interested in pursuing block funding arrangements. The new policy would certainly permit arrangements to be concluded in the coming year for implementation as early as next fiscal year. Thank you.
