Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yes, the reason that money is still unallocated is because we had not heard in from all of the tax-based communities at the time we had to submit the budget whether or not they will definitely need any money for water and sewer. Some communities did come in. I believe we have Hay River, Yellowknife and Fort Simpson that we have definitely received submissions from. This money is still being held and will be used for that purpose. We still, as I recall, have not heard in from all of the communities. It is meant for water and sewer to be cost-shared with the tax-based communities on a 50/50 basis. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Potentially, this would be a source as well. This was discussed at length at committee review. We had attempted to have some funding for these kinds of extraordinary situations that arise. Yes, there would be some. If that happens, we may have to go and seek additional assistance from FMB or Cabinet. It depends on the situation and the magnitude on whether or not we could absorb it and assist the community or not.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. No, that is just the tax-based communities. In the non-taxed base, by and large it is 100 percent GNWT.

Agreed.

Agreed.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In terms of search and rescue, there is quite an elaborate structure set up that involves the communities, the RCMP, and the military, depending on the type of search. If you are talking about ground search and rescue, the RCMP actually has primary responsibility in that area. They take responsibility for managing those kinds of public searches. There is also something called a community-organized search, where they may not want to wait until the RCMP officially declares someone as being missing. They start the search on their own. We provide training for those community organizations, primarily through the regions. That in some cases is by request. It is usually by community, but it can be done at the regional centre and people come in.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Under the present program, the government's policy is up to $1,000 per search to be used for things like the extra cost of the fuel and things like that. There have not been a lot of complaints about that, whether it has been high or low. If it needs to be looked at, that certainly can be looked at. The amount, that is.

Sorry, I just wanted to make it clear that the $1,000 is provided to the community government and then they would reimburse whoever was involved in that particular search and rescue exercise.
