Thank you, Madam Speaker. My question is again to the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs in dealing with the water and sewage rates. The Cabinet has previously made commitments to consult with Members on the major issues which will affect their communities, and I certainly believe that this is one issue that falls under that category. I would like to ask the Minister what consultation he undertook with Members of this House before recommending this change to Cabinet.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I believe the consultation with regard to the water and sewer subsidy has been raised by a number of Members, and I believe the first time that the subsidy was mentioned was in the fall session, in October or November. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Supplementary, Madam Speaker. I don't believe the Minister has answered the question. The question was, what consultation did he undertake with Members of this House prior to bringing this change of rates forward to Cabinet?

Thank you, Madam Speaker. With regard to this particular policy, when I became a Member of the Cabinet, I did not make any consultation but I understood consultation had been made by previous Members of this particular department. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I, again, as a Minister, did not make consultation with the municipalities. Again, I would have to say that the way I understood it, previous Ministers had made consultation with municipalities in the Northwest Territories. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
