Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I do not believe the small communities are part of the larger community block funding, because they are in fact considered a community of their own, and they receive funding for capital separately from what the larger centre would receive. So the block funding Hay River receives does not include any capital for the Hay River Reserve, nor would it receive any funding for O and M because the Reserve is still considered separately on their own. They are entitled to their own funding.
