Thank you, Madam Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment and has to do with the statement I made earlier about Umingmaktok and Bathurst Inlet, two communities deemed ineligible for funding under the Canada/NWT infrastructure agreement.

I would like to ask the Minister if he considered asking the federal government representatives for clarification or an exemption of the eligibility of these communities when they were considered for funding under the infrastructure agreement. Thank you.
