Mr. Voytilla advised me it is a set rate for everybody across the territories.

Thank you, Madam Chair. The subdivision that the Minister is talking about. I believe there are residences already on those streets that he referred to. Is that correct?

Thank you, Madam Chair. I take it that these streets and homes are presently being serviced by water delivery and sewer pick-up?

Thank you, Madam Chair. Probably as many communities have in the territories, in Yellowknife we also have some subdivisions that have water delivery and sewage pick-up. Would those loans be available, for example, to the municipality of Yellowknife on a repayment schedule similar to the ones that are proposed by the Minister?

It would be through a debenture like a sophisticated municipality such as Yellowknife would issue a debenture, yes.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Going back to my earlier question as to how this affects our bottom line. I interpret this to be a repayable loan and therefore will presumably go on our books as a debt. It really does not cut into our bottom line, I take it, at the end of the year. But perhaps the Minister could speak on that for a moment?

Like the loans that we issue to Yellowknife or anywhere else, it would be set up as a receivable. Yes.

David Krutko Mackenzie Delta
Thank you, Madam Chair. Regarding the loan that is being allocated. Under the new arrangement we made for communities to borrow money, is the government going to guarantee that all these loans will be in place for the municipalities or communities that want them? Will there be a written guarantee for all those communities so that if they do default on those loans, this government will be liable for those loans?

Can I get clarification? Is Mr. Krutko saying if we are lending money to municipalities under the new legislation that we set in place to allow hamlets, et cetera, to borrow money - are we guaranteeing that borrowing, is that what we are saying, if they default? Is that what he is saying? That is the question I want to ask.
