Thank you, Madam Chairperson. The block funding agreements are developed in accordance with authority established by the Municipal Operating Assistance Policy and the Municipal Assistance Policy. The GNWT standards and criteria are used to determine the projects that are considered part of the block funding, so these are legally binding. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chairperson. This was introduced in last year's budget for MACA. We now block fund communities for roads, sidewalks, site development, open play space and capital programs. This is the same as what was presented in last year's budget. Thank you, Madam Chairperson.

Could the Minister point out where those funds are in the budget? I thought this was where it would fall under.

Thank you, Madam Chairperson. There is no capital budget for the Keewatin pilot project because it is being talked about. There is nothing to implement to the Keewatin pilot project up to this date because they are just coming up with the proposal now. Thank you, Madam Chairperson.
