(Translation) Qujannamiik. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a reply to Mr. Pudlat. The question regarding Lake Harbour arena. The construction of an arena is currently scheduled in the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs capital plan for 1996-97, and 1997-98. Unfortunately, I am unable to commit to advancing the construction time frame for a specific project at this time.
The Department of Municipal and Community Affairs capital planning process is structured to provide for the orderly delivery of capital construction throughout the N.W.T. The capital plan is developed through a process which sets in priority the needs of all communities across the N.W.T. This priority listing is developed based on established standards, and criteria, which assess, among other things, community population, access to existing facilities, and community capability of carrying the increased financial burden associated with operating a new facility. However, as is our current practise, my department and I will monitor changes in community needs and conditions through the capital process, and consult with the hamlet. Thank you.
