Thank you, Madam Chair. This is what I said. Repulse Bay is currently approximately $38,000 a lot. The new lots last year, because the rocks had to be crushed, were costing $80,000 or $95,000 a lot because there is no more gravel. They were $38,000 a lot for the lots before. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. A lot that has trucked service in Rankin Inlet is probably about $18,000 without the cost of the truck delivery and sewage pump-out. The $50,000 a lot would include the cost of the service to the lot. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Yes, they do at this time.

(Translation) Thank you, Madam Chair. I just want to make a comment. I am not pointing a finger at the Minister. She is a new Minister dealing with this department. Perhaps if I had read through the main estimates previous to our meeting and under general

comments, maybe I should have brought up my comments. However, being on page 10-31, looking at this page and the amount of funding, it is over $12 million. I am happy that this would be allocated to the Nunavut region; however, part of the communities in my constituency have projects in the five-year capital plans; some have been deferred, however. That is the way I am understanding it. Why didn't they defer this funding for another time? I have heard from the people that the Ministers'...It has been said before that the ridings of the Minister tend to get more capital projects than any other ordinary Members' ridings. This has been done in the past. St.

Listening to the CBC News this morning, the government has already made five-year plans for each community. So those plans can't be changed in between those five years. I am not particularly...

Thank you, Madam Chair. I don't know if the translation came across correctly. It is my understanding that the Member says that Ministers' ridings get more capital than ordinary Members' ridings. That isn't true. Capital is given out by this government on need and need only. If the Member is saying that the Ministers of this government are pork-barrelling into their riding or padding their riding, that isn't a true statement. I would like that statement taken back. Thank you.

(Translation) Thank you, Madam Chair. I apologize for the short comment I just made. However, being a Canadian, I cannot just sit back and listen to what is being said without having the freedom of speech. However, we have to abide by laws that have been established for us. Having said what I just said, I just wanted to make that comment because in the past, it seems like that has been the case. However, I apologize for the comment I just made. Being Members of the Legislative Assembly, we are told that we can't change plans that have already been in place from previous operations of government. I just wanted to say that I am quite happy about this funding. I am asking this question. Will I be able to get half of this $12.5 million for my communities? Thank you, Madam Chair.

(Translation) Thank you, Madam Chair. We can't just go in there and take half the money. I am saying no. Thank you, Madam Chair.
