Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The issue mentioned by Mr. Christensen on reviewing their criteria on the community contributions to me is one of interest, especially as money gets tighter. People are going to be looking at how money is allocated and what resources are shared around. I was sitting here trying to do some basic math. If I took the $17,000 as a figure that is given to us on a per capita basis, the federal government transfers. I just took three different other numbers. I took Yellowknife, for instance. I recognize there are other variables here, but if I look at Yellowknife with 16,000 people, just with the transfer of $17,000 that works out to $172 million a year. If I take a community with 3000, it works out to about $51 million. A community of 200 is about $3,400,000. I think the issue of fairness and equity is one that is going to become of great importance. There is a clear understanding there has to be equalization.

We have to support each other, but there has to be recognition that there are costs. I am concerned we have created a high level of expectation among communities. I do not think a lot of the communities, especially the smaller ones, recognize the cost of things. Clearly, if you want arenas, all this infrastructure and the government gives it to you, it is not the same if there is a certain amount of equity from communities put into it. Tax based communities do it. We all do it in our own lives. If you want stuff, you take mortgages, you recognize there is a cost to things. With our shrinking resource base as a government, it is going to become more and more important. I will be interested to see how that shakes out of your review of the municipal financing, because it is going to become an issue. It is not really a question, Mr. Chairman, more of a comment.
