Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, according to the information I have, there are about 13 municipalities that are experiencing accumulated deficit with water and sewage delivery. For the fiscal year ending March, 1999, if the initiative goes ahead, more burden will be placed on these communities. I understand Mr. Menard indicated just now that we have to conserve water. I think it is the understanding of each and every Member of the House, perhaps the population of the NWT, that we have more water in this land than anywhere else in the world. In fact, every year the snow falls and subsequently melts in the spring. Sometimes it is very hard not to get your feet wet when you are walking around your community or on the land that we so love, Mr. Chairman. Given what I have said, can the Minister identify communities in all parts of the NWT where the water supply is such an issue and concern that conservation is crucial? Thank you.
