Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My concern with regard to the way this money came about is that I would like to know from the Minister, we have different avenues of accessing dollars through the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs and other programs we have within government. We have a program called extraordinary funding for emergencies which is used in case of emergencies. I know that the hamlet of Fort McPherson accessed those dollars through extraordinary funds with respect to the problems with regard to their water and sewage program.

We also have a program with regard to infrastructure funding. We have a community access road program. We have all these programs in place. I would like to ask the Minister why was the community of Tuktoyaktuk not encouraged to apply to those programs to access those dollars instead of having it come forth through a supplementary appropriation from the department?
