Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Water and sewage was growing so fast that the communities had to be block funded for this so that it would be more efficient. There was a cut made to the water and sewage subsidy program without any allowance for forced growth for a four-year period; therefore, we have had to

work with $9.8 million instead of $12.1 million. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you. Contributions, Inuvik region, total region, $356,000. Agreed?

Agreed.

---Agreed

Thank you. Now, my friend over in this corner. Contributions, Baffin, total region. Mr. Evaloarjuk.

(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Are we on Baffin, 10-19, community development? I just had a question that I would like to ask if it is the appropriate time. I think it was my mistake.

I think earlier, when Mr. Barnabas wanted to speak, I thought that Baffin was still ahead, so I would like to apologize to Mr. Barnabas so I wish he was here.

Baffin, 10-19. Should be go back to 10-19?

(Translation) I have a question. In Igloolik, we have asked for a recreation centre. I think it was in a five-year plan. Do I understand that we will not be getting that recreation centre in the next three years?

Madam Minister.

(Translation) To my understanding, it would be within 10 years. It is not in here. The recreation centre that Mr. Evaloarjuk is talking about is not included in here. The recreation complex in Igloolik, it's $341,000 to Igloolik, up front.

Total contributions, page 10-23. We've done Inuvik region, right?

Agreed.

Thank you. That was $356,000. Contributions, Baffin, total region, $3.247 million. Mr. Evaloarjuk.

Madam Minister.

(Translation) Are you asking under the capital estimate $518,000, contributions, Baffin?

I do not see any of my riding in there. Are they not going to receiving any contributions? What's happening?

Madam Minister.

This area is just to do with buildings and works. Hall Beach will be getting a grader. Now I'm getting into details. Sorry. I'll refer the question to Mrs. Ballantyne.

Thank you. Mrs. Ballantyne.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Under mobile equipment, various, in Baffin, the community of Hall Beach is identified to receive a grader in this fiscal year. Thank you.

Qujannamiik. Baffin. Mr. Barnabas. Sorry. I apologize to you.

(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Under 10-18, 1 want to ask if a town had a population of 618 and had to travel five miles to get to the water supply system ... I'm not really in favour of this and just wanted to make a comment on that. Thank you.

I thought we had not passed the Baffin region but, in fact, we have passed the Baffin region. I had told the honourable Member that Baffin region was still ahead so we have not got to that page. I made a mistake. Thank you. I apologize.

Page 10-23, contributions, Keewatin, total region, $716,000. Agreed?
