Another question I had for MACA was when I was making general comments. There is a feeling in the community, especially the council, that they have been given more responsibility for policy and planning. It takes much of the council's and staff's time to deal with the community transfer initiative, the Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated, and other agencies and bodies that must deal with the hamlets, Department of Economic Development, construction, capital planning, five year capital planning, et cetera. But, these are not funded, other than by the present formula financing that MACA has with the hamlets. A letter was recently written to the Minister from the Hamlet of Coral Harbour, dated February 11. Are there any plans to review the formula financing to allow the councils to devote time and funds to meet those policy planning developments for their communities?
