Thank you, Mr. Chairman. When the deputy minister mentioned the program, I was expecting a lot of things, but I guess we will have to settle for $1,000. I still have a concern regarding the $1,000. I have experienced it through my term in the community politics in that the communities are very hesitant to go ahead and spend their money without getting confirmation from the department that they will be receiving the $1,000 from MACA.
What is the turnaround from the time that they are contacted? Does there have to be an official meeting in the community with all of the formalities that come with it, and then the documentation is forwarded to Yellowknife before there is a commitment on this $1,000?
If there is an accident on the weekend, some of the communities are reluctant to spend dollars before they get confirmation from the department. What happens then? Is there any comfort that the communities can have that they will be reimbursed?
