Why is there such a drastic change from say, a community of Tsiigehtchic with 200 where they get $4,000 to administer a program for a whole year, and it does not matter if it is a community of Iqaluit or Yellowknife where they get two full-time positions? That is the problem I have. I do not think that is fair. What can you do with $5,000? It probably costs a charter for a Minister to go from one community to his riding, one trip. Yet this money has to last a whole year for a community to administer a program. That is the problem I have with the whole delivery program where a community, like Iqaluit, receives over $3 million and out of that they get two positions. Yet for the rest of the area, we get $1.41 million for support for the other communities. We talk about fairness and being equitable to all people in all communities. It does not look equitable to me. What is being done to ensure that fairness is distributed to all communities, no matter what the size?
