Thank you. I hope the Minister will forgive me for being nervous when I hear the government talk about debt recovery plans. Clearly, the debt recovery plan for Rae-Edzo involves dealing with a $454,000 debt and we are doing that by spending $405,000 in the supplementary appropriation. I do not know if that is a debt recovery plan. I think that is a bail out, and I am nervous about what kind of message that this sends to our municipalities. If the message is, we will bail you out, they are all listening. I would assume that if they are paying any attention to what is going on in this House, Fort Good Hope, Fort Simpson, and Fort McPherson, will be coming forward for requests to have these debts written off, and if we are going to bail out Rae-Edzo, certainly we are going to bail out everybody else.
I am wondering if Mr. Handley can speak to this. How do we make the decision that one situation is manageable and another is unmanageable? Are we talking about internal personnel and whether or not they were qualified? This is a judgement call I guess, but I am certainly concerned about the message it sends. We have also spent some money in helping the hamlet hire a new SAO, I understand, and recruit a new SAO. Is this typical standard procedure? Do we do this as SAOs leave other communities? Do we come outside their block-funding to provide additional funding, to hire and recruit staff? I do not know, but I would like to hear the Minister speak to it.
