Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yes, the Minister is correct. Some of these smaller communities, if they are band communities, do have access to funding outside MACA funding. Ndilo is one example. But in most cases, the larger tax-based municipality is funded to provide services to those communities. So for example in Yellowknife, our formula funding to Yellowknife, part of it is population based and part of it is infrastructure based, and that calculation takes into consideration the population and the infrastructure in Ndilo. So until such time as those communities take on a different status, they are receiving services through the larger tax-based municipalities with which they're associated. Thank you.
