Thank you, Mr. Speaker. All I can say, Mr. Speaker, is that the allocation that was made to Pelly Bay does not match the request for $1.2 or $1.4 million. What is clear is that there is probably a need for the region, the community and the divisional board of education to rethink how they are going to fund a project of that magnitude.
There are a number of options we are looking at, but none of which includes the use of carry over dollars because, while the funding may not be totally allocated this year for the infrastructure program, we have an agreement with the federal government that we will carry those dollars over for the next three years. In fact, we're in the process now of negotiating a potential agreement of making the infrastructure program available for up to five years if we don't spend the resources. In that time, we might have the appropriate applications completed.
The one thing that is not clear to me is, even though we're considering extending the project period for five years, if that includes additional resources then we need to have a discussion with the federal government about that matter. It may mean more dollars or it may just mean use of the same amount of dollars over a longer period.
