Mahsi cho, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, people that participated in our workshops and put a lot of hard work into the recommendations that were represented in the progress report and will be put in the final report are anxious for a final report. Our committee's work cannot be completed until the government responds to our progress report, as in the terms of reference, Mr. Speaker. However, Mr. Speaker, when can we see some kind of action that will see adequate funding for the smaller communities? As I stated in my Member's statement, Mr. Speaker, it doesn't matter what size the community, it's the basic costs that have to be done. A lot of times though our formula financing based on per capita doesn't recognize that basic cost and the communities don't have a tax base. So when can we see a financing arrangement that's going to be equitable for the small communities? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
