Can I have clarification on the $1.5 million to Rankin Inlet, with regards to the prepaid condition for the hamlet of Rankin, and also how that affects other communities with regard to this initiative?

I think it is important because, as usual it is Rankin Inlet and I am sitting in the chair, to explain in detail what took place here. There was $14.7 million originally in the budget to put a utilidor into the community of Rankin Inlet over a five year period. In keeping with our contribution to fiscal restraint and the deficit strategy, $7.9 million was cut from the budget over that period of time. The hamlet of Rankin Inlet came to MACA and asked them to complete the existing loop in Rankin Inlet. They asked us if we would be prepared to give them $1.5 million. MACA went back to them and said they were not prepared to do that, in keeping with the new policy with respect to land development, and that Rankin Inlet and other communities in the future will have to develop some form of repayment schedule whether it is through a debenture, lease payments or whatever.

In recognition of that, Rankin Inlet agreed to a $1.5 million repayable contribution to complete installation of water and sewer mains on streets six and seven, and this repayment contribution would be no different from the normal debenture funding that exists elsewhere. The hamlet will make payments according to a schedule with the funds realized through community lease payments and will be subject to the interest rates normally charged for debenture loans. The balance that is required to complete water and sewer over the following three or four years of another $6.1 million will have to be done in a similar manner. There is no more money so this $1.5 million is a repayment schedule that the community of Rankin Inlet is prepared to fund through an increase in its landlot leases to the constituency at large. It has no impact on other communities because it is a repayment loan similar to what we do with other constituencies like Hay River, Fort Smith, Fort Simpson, Yellowknife, et cetera.
