Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In Rankin Inlet, there is a very large subdivision area that has been planned as part of the community's general development plan. It is called "Nuvuk Residential Subdivision." That particular subdivision is served with piped water and sewer services, which adds to the capital cost of the land development project relative to other land development projects. The reason the cost is so high is that it is a large project and it is phased over a number of years. The $12 million figure relates to the added accumulative total over a number of years beyond the five-year planning horizon of the present capital plan. It goes into future years. Of course, the time over which that money would be expended would be dependent on the actual development that is realized in Rankin Inlet and the demand for more land in that period. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. No, that isn't the amount of money that was spent last year. It is the amount of money that has been spent to this point in that particular subdivision.

Mr. Chairman, the previous construction has been over the prior two years; actually, three years, if you include the design period. Looking forward, we are looking at a six-year period for future construction.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Mr. Chair. Sorry. The subdivision in Rankin is a big division
that was a new part of town. It is needed in Rankin. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

This was a priority of the community. There is a whole subdivision there where people have built their homes, as well as apartment buildings. It is serviced by water truck delivery and sewage pump-out by trucks. It was a priority of the community. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The community-governing body has people who represent various committees in the community and that is put into consideration. Thank you.
