Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I will address this question to the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs. Since the Minister of Public Works has advised that the BIP
will now be extended to boards, agencies and municipal authorities, and I think he was indicating to me that no additional funds would be allowed to make up for bid differentials, could the Minister of Municipal Affairs advise how his department will address the additional cost to municipalities for this program? Will the government provide the difference? Will the municipality be expected to fund the difference, or will the GNWT and the municipality split the difference?
