Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Municipal and Community Affairs has the authority to dismiss elected municipal councils as in the Iqaluit situation. They have a lot of authority in the communities that have municipal governments. One of the communities in my area, Fort Liard, was in financial difficulty last year and were on the verge of... they were even asking to be dissolved at one point but MACA came into effect here and was able to get involved in a debt recovery program with them and set down some guidelines to get this community back into good standing financially. There were a number of stipulations placed on them and I'm told that the government is not following the recovery plan in the area of funding. I think that may have been taken care of, with regard to the water and sewer subsidy that was held back since last August. I would like to ask the Minister if that's been cleared up? That was one important component of the recovery plan and the last time I visited them, I was told that they were having additional financial problems because the government wasn't following the recovery plan that was set down for the community. Thank you.
