Thank you, Mr. Chairman. No, actually we are increasing our support to municipalities to deal with rising costs of insurance this year. The reason is simply that last year there were some additional funding items that were included as additional funding and they've now been rolled into the community government funding. So although it looks like a decrease, we've actually given community governments the same amount as an increase in the next fiscal year that we gave them during the current fiscal year. So we are continuing to assist them with the rising costs. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just want to note the increase in the funding on the contributions for this year. This past year, there was $150,000 budgeted, but it's gone up to $1.125 million. Then there is another same amount budgeted for this year. Then I noticed that the community programs section has another $1 million budgeted this coming year. I think it's a great thing. I assume that's the statement the Minister made. I am interested in knowing, I appreciate that this fiscal year of 2002-2003 is not yet over, but I am wondering if I could get a breakdown of where that money has been spent for this year, as much as the department can provide. That gives me an idea of where that might be spent in the upcoming year, if at all possible. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Perhaps we misunderstood the question and could seek some clarification. We felt the Member was referring to the new $1 million community program funding. I am just not sure which program is being sought. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

No, Mr. Chairman, I wasn't seeking specifics for the new $1 million because I am assuming that that is yet to be spent. I am assuming that will depend on who is applying and so on. What I was trying to do was I wanted to make a note of these increases as a good thing: "$1 million for community programs to address community priorities, example, youth and families with a focus on active living." I look forward to some good things happening out of that money. I just wanted to make a note of that as a positive thing. The question I had was to do with the recreation organization funding. In the current fiscal year, the budgeted amount changed from $150,000 to $1.1 million. Then we have another $1.1 million budgeted for this upcoming year. So I am interested in knowing how the money was spent with that current... How was the money spent for 2002-2003 thus far? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Mr. Chairman, the breakdown of the expenditures for 2002-2003: We have $825,000 for community governments for recreation and sports programs; and $225,000 for Mackenzie recreation association; Beaufort-Delta and Sahtu recreation associations; NWT Recreation and Parks Association; the regional associations; we had $180,000 for recreation facility operators program for the development and delivery of maintenance training for recreation facilities through the school of community government; and $120,000 for O and M allocation for North Slave, Sahtu and Beaufort-Delta regions to support new regional recreation positions and $50,000 for role model film on a territorial experiment ski training program. That is to be used in an upcoming active living role model program. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Could I get a breakdown on the $825,000 that has gone to community governments? Could I get a community-by-community breakdown?
