Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the honourable Minister responsible for the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs. It is in regard to the water system cost breakdown in the community of Fort McPherson.
My concern is more around the accessibility of information for the municipalities to have access to actual cost breakdowns in regard to the expenditures of those invoices and itemizing those invoices so you know exactly what those invoices refer to and what those amounts are being paid for.
In regard to the breakdown that I mentioned in my statement, the question was asked at a meeting in Fort McPherson to the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs to provide this information. They were basically told that they would not provide that information or they could not share that information with them.
I would like to ask the honourable Minister responsible for the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs why that practice is being practiced within the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs in withholding information from the municipalities within our communities?
