Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs has been involved in the way of being very supportive of this whole process since this federal department, Industry Canada, had initiated this demonstration project in February, 1999. Municipal and Community Affairs has contributed, I think $25,000 apiece to Hay River and Yellowknife to put a bid in for it.
We are going to continue to support the City of Yellowknife, who were the successful candidates, to the tune of $30,000 to help them get their initial start. The program calls for each of the successful communities who are eligible to receive up to $5 million on a 50-50 cost share basis over three years. We certainly would like to be supportive of Yellowknife. I have not gone to that stage in this department to see what the honourable Member means of being an active partner in this initiative. As a department, we are not there yet. We would certainly investigate to see what it means. Thank you.
