Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, we have, I believe, a meeting coming up in April in Inuvik when we would be able to sit down with our partners in sports and discuss the results of the responses from all the sports organizations. Thank you.

Mr. Chairman,

I MOVE that this committee recommends that the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs develop, in cooperation with the Minister of Transportation, a program to pave all streets and roads within municipal boundaries in the Northwest Territories.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to get some information from the department in this area with regard to community infrastructure and programs. What is included, for example, in block funding transfers to communities? Yesterday, I was given information in response to my question about, for example, water and sewer development and how that broke down for tax-based municipalities. For other community infrastructure, for example, in the area of sport and recreation and any facilities of that nature, what is the breakdown? What would a tax-based community like Inuvik have to come up with when it comes to a recreation facility? As well, with respect to road development, what would the community of Inuvik have to come up with or what would they be eligible for in government dollars? Thank you.

Murray

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In terms of policies or programs for sport and recreation infrastructure, new facilities in the tax-based communities, we have no programs for sport and recreation facilities in tax-based communities in terms of capital infrastructure. The only program we have for tax-based capital infrastructure is water and sewer, which is cost-shared 50 percent.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I ask that because recently in the community of Inuvik, a plebiscite was held for ratepayers to vote on with regard to a family centre, as we call it. The ratepayers approved that. The town council was asking for $5 million. The whole thing would be at the cost of the taxpayers of the community?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. They can also use the other funding that comes from the Government of the Northwest Territories. For instance, the block funding they get for operations and maintenance. If they do not use all that for operations, that can go towards facilities as well.
