Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have been involved with the hamlet of Fort McPherson where your department has come into the communities and tried to move capital projects up, but they say these cuts were made by Yellowknife and that is the direction they have been given. The communities may want to move this project up because of the water quality question or not having a recreation item.

With regard to this new arrangement of block funding in communities, you are saying they are going to get a better deal. You might get a three-year block funding arrangement, but payments are done on a month-by-month basis. Many of these projects are scheduled for the year 1999, 2000 and 2001. We are talking about the next decade. This is my first kick at the can at this process and it looks like there is a problem with it. I would like to ask the Minister if she is willing to open a dialogue with all the communities in the Mackenzie Delta, to have a chance to put what they would like to see in the five-year capital plan versus what is in front of us.
