Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs, Ms. Thompson. It is in relation to questions that were asked, I believe last week, by Mr. Steen in regard to the Keewatin Regional Empowerment Project. I would like to ask the Minister in regards to such a project, also the other aspect that her department carries out in regard to community empowerment and also the RICE teams that are presently in place in the regions to assist communities with community empowerment initiatives. I would like to ask the Minister what the cost to this government is for this new initiative and where the funds are coming from to carry out these initiatives for the smaller communities such as Aklavik? They have to fall within contribution guidelines that are in place for them to carry out these community empowerment initiatives. I would like to ask the Minister where are the funds coming from to explore this new initiative especially in regard to the regional empowerment initiative that is taking place in the Keewatin and where are the funds for that and exactly do they have guidelines in place for them to carry that out?
