Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is directed to my friend, Minister of Finance, Mr. Todd.
Mr. Speaker in a government capital plan, a pro plan, is money slated for Gjoa Haven to study the tourism area in the amount of $45,00?.
I had the opportunity this morning, Mr. Speaker, to talk to the Community Development Officer who is working for the Hamlet Council of Gjoa Haven. He has indicated to me, over the phone, that the community wants to renovate an existing building and turn it into a visitor's centre. They want to use the 45 grand for renovation instead of planning.
Mr. Speaker given the community empowerment concept, given that every cent of the shrinking dollar must be used for meaningful and tangible projects, I wonder if the Honourable Minister would give permission to the community of Gjoa Haven to use that $45,000, slated for the planning, to use it for the renovation of the existing building? Thank you.
