I understand. Do the other regions have that same arrangement?

That's correct. This was a special arrangement reached with that particular divisional board. That is not to suggest, though, that depending on the recommendations, this might not be considered in the future.

I find that quite interesting because I think the Deh Cho divisional board wanted a similar type of arrangement with the school in Simpson. What's the difference between the school board in Rae and the school board in the Deh Cho? Why weren't similar arrangements reached with them? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In this particular case, because the Dogrib Divisional Board of Education was a society before that had certain responsibilities such as the whole matter of O and M maintenance for 16 years, this is just part of a renovation project that they initially had responsibility for. That was not the case with the other boards that were established. It is not that it can't be done, but from a policy decision, we decided that the best way to approach this was through Public Works and Services.

There are only three boards that we deal with directly: Yellowknife No. 1, Yellowknife No. 2 and the Dogrib Divisional Board of Education in Rae-Edzo.

Mr. Chairman, before we conclude this department, on Wednesday I had asked the Minister some questions about the breakdown in the national infrastructure program to communities. I had asked for more information that wasn't provided yesterday as I had asked for. I was wondering if I could get the concurrence of the committee to go back to the issue and ask the Minister some questions?

Thank you. I apologize to the honourable Member for not responding to him, I did have the information. Had we gone with the allocation based on pure formula, it would have been $1.336 million as opposed to $1 million.
