Mr. Speaker, when the new municipal funding formula was approved by cabinet at the end of March of this year, I made a commitment to the City of Yellowknife that I would work on a block funding arrangement for the coming fiscal year, since the new funding formula allows for block funding for municipalities, and since the City of Yellowknife, amongst other municipalities, was very interested in obtaining such an arrangement. I can tell the honourable Member that discussions have been under way at the officials level. They have been hampered a bit by holidays and travel, but I understand now that Mr. Lagore is back, discussions are proceeding actively with my officials. The results have not yet come to my attention, but I know it is being worked on actively and it still is a priority with myself to get a proposal together for presentation to cabinet. Thank you.
