Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Regarding the recreation and organization funding, it says "contribution to eligible organizations for sport and recreation." Could the Minister explain which organizations are the eligible organizations?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The amount of $1,125,000 is to provide contributions to the regional recreation associations. There are two of those. One is the Mackenzie Regional Recreational Association. The other one is the Beaufort-Delta/Sahtu Association. That is in the amount of $150,000. The other amount, $825,000, is for contributions to community governments.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Regarding the eligibility criteria, we also have territorial sporting organizations like Sport North and the Aboriginal Sporting Federation. Do they also receive funds out of this pot of money?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. No, they do not. At the present time, both of those organizations get their funding through the lottery revenues.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the deputy minister mentioned that there were a few sporting organizations, but he also mentioned municipalities. Is this funding for all municipalities or just a few?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Is the funding allocated fairly to all municipalities or is there a formula that is being used? Does every municipality receive the same amount?

Can the deputy minister explain what the formula is and what the base amount is?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In terms of distributing the formula to the regions and then to the communities, we use the same allocation formula that we use for every other source of funding. It is a separate pot of money, but it is using the same formula at the present time as we use for the other community government funding.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I do not want to be asking too much, but can the Minister explain what the formula is? What is the concept of the formula? Is it based on population? Is it based on the size of the community? Is it based on the number of telephone poles?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The formula is based on three primary factors; population, the cost of living in that community, the cost of goods and services, and then there is a base factor depending upon the level of, if you will, governance that the community is responsible for. For instance, if you are a hamlet with by-law making authority versus a settlement, your base amount will be higher because you have a higher level of responsibility for enforcing things like by-laws and those kinds of things in your community.
