Mr. Chairman, is this the same community we were just talking about on a past activity where Mr. Erasmus identified nothing was happening over there? I believe, Mr. Chairman, it was suggested that it was not recognized as a community. But now I see $250,000 here for an outdoor skating rink. Could I have some explanation on that?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It is funding for piped water and sewer service connections. I will ask my deputy minister to elaborate more on that because I am just reading this and she probably knows more about this than I do.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the department has a program for piped water/sewer service connection to provide financial assistance to private homeowners to install a service connection from a property line to their house under the NWT Private Homeowners Piped Water/Sewer Service Connection Rebate Program.
The other facet of this program is to install piped water/sewer service connection from the mains under the street to the property line of leased lots owned by the NWT government. In this case prior commitment is here for the provision of service connections for the subdivision in Rankin Inlet. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, can the Minister then indicate if we are providing $400,000 to hook people to a utilidor system? Does that include all people who would make an application, for example if Mr. Picco in Iqaluit made an application to get assistance I could or Mr. Roland in Inuvik or Mr. Miltenberger in Fort Smith or is just for specific communities? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This particular program is set up to deal with situations where it has been determined that it is more cost effective to provide piped services as opposed to trucked services. The program is here to help those homeowners who have already invested in their homes to provide trucked pump in pump out services within their building and to assist with the conversion.
The hypothetical situation of Mr. Picco in Iqaluit would apply if he was in a residence that was serviced by trucks and at a point later on it was decided it was more cost effective for the
servicing system of the community to put in piped services as opposed to maintain the present trucked arrangement. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In the Fort Smith region I noticed there is a lot of work on subdivisions being created including Fort Providence, Jean Marie River and other communities. The industrial subdivision in Wrigley, I think I had an answer on that before, but for clarification, what do you mean when you say industrial subdivision in Wrigley?
