Mr. Chairman, there are two areas in which there are road paving programs designated. Realizing that these are tax-based municipalities, are these the portions that the communities contribute toward, is this half of what the government contributes? Is that the way it works?

I believe it is a new policy. I must apologize for not being up to date on the policies. I would ask Mr. Christensen if he can bring us up to date on this. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. These projects, historically, have been funded on a 50/50 cost-sharing basis with municipalities, the road paving projects such as this. However, with the new municipal capital assistance policy for Fort Smith, they would pay 30 per cent of the cost for the first $100,000 and 20 per cent of the remaining amount. So, if there is $26,000, they would pay 30 per cent of the $26,000.

I realize the Minister is looking after both Transportation and MACA right now. Do you do any coordination? For example, when there is repaving going on
between the junction and Fort Smith, do you coordinate it so that if there is repaving to be done in a community in the immediate vicinity, you can utilize the equipment while it is there?

Thank you. There is a great deal of chip seal and asphalt surfacing which takes place in the Transportation budget. It is my understanding -- I talked with Mr. Menard -- there are discussions taking place between two departments particularly as it relates to hamlets and not so much in the tax-based municipalities, but in particular as it relates to hamlets. There is some discussion that takes place. My understanding is that there is some exchange of capital planning documents. Whether that actually provides any better planning, I am not sure, but there is certainly an exchange done between the two departments. Thank you.
