Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I think one of the issues that the pilot project is trying to address is, how you can make infrastructure transfers work in small communities and in a small region. One of the early concerns that mayors and SAOs in the Keewatin raised was that there would not be enough economies of scale in a small community to make the infrastructure transfer work.
They felt it would be important for them to be working together. Because their region is small and they do have a tradition of meeting on a regular basis and working together, they were very comfortable with a regional approach. The regional approach has been there almost from day one. It was never intended that it be six separate approaches or eight separate approaches in the Keewatin. The desire to work on this together was there right from the beginning. It was presented to Cabinet if my memory serves me correctly, as a regional block funding approach and not intended to be a separate community-by-community approach. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
