Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I understand from the Minister that part of the cost associated with this project is in relation to a utilidor system. A utilidor system is almost like a special benefit to most communities in the North. It's not something you find in the average community. I think only the larger centres can actually boast of having utilidor systems.
Bearing in mind the financial restraints of this government and the number of sacrifices we're all being asked to make, I wonder if this community really needs this utilidor system at this point in time. It seems to be driving the cost of the lots up. Obviously, it's associated with development costs.
I'm also wondering if phone lines and power lines are all included in these costs, because I recall in some of my communities where MACA developed the land and then we had to fight to find money for the power lines. It wasn't all tied in at the same time. We had to find money for power lines. Then all those people wanted phone lines. That was something else again. I had to get the government to cover the cost from NorthwesTel separately. I am wondering if all these costs are tied into this project. Perhaps the Minister could tell me if it would be a big problem to develop these lots without the utilidor system.
