In the department's 2001-2002 draft main estimates, infrastructure contributions to communities were included with the department's activity summaries. An overall Government of the Northwest Territories Capital Acquisition Plan is included in a separate section as part of the main estimates package, but infrastructure projects owned by communities are only included as part of infrastructure contributions for the department. Conversely, capital projects owned by the territorial government are exclusively included in the Capital Acquisition Plan section. Previous to the territorial government's implementation of its tangible capital assets accounting protocol, all capital projects were included in one document, categorized by community, department and project. This comprehensive document was known as the Five-Year Capital Plan. Committee members are of the position that all capital projects should be included in one document for greater clarity and transparency.
