In your opening remarks, on page 4 of 6, "I must point out to the Members that the demand on the department's capital resources in 1995-96 exceed its ability to respond to all identified infrastructure needs. We strive to respond to an increasing population and to the community governments' need to replace aging capital infrastructure when necessary and possible." In most communities, there are arenas and swimming pools and you also said one of your principles is for us to have good recreational infrastructure. You said, "This flexibility allows a community to meet their contribution by using the skills and abilities found in the community and to employ them in a project for the benefit of all residents of the community." If a community is using sweat equity, is that equity being recorded in any way? In other words, whether it is tax credit... Maybe the government has a charitable number they use to give these people exemptions for taxes. I would think that where the communities are not using those kinds of initiatives, it isn't fair to the communities that are paying money up front.

I keep referring to Providence because that is the one I know best. In Providence, in 1983, the community came out with $275,000, which is different than what happened in Fort Good Hope. Their community used a lot of unrecorded assets as their contribution. Does the Minister have a way of measuring that? I have looked through the capital, and it doesn't say anything about revenue coming from this government as part of that contribution towards capital infrastructure.
