Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a written question for the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs:
- What is the basis for the current arrangement between the City of Yellowknife and/or the Government of the NWT and Indian and Northern Affairs Canada, regarding the status of Ndilo?
- When does this arrangement end?
- What is the amount of the payments in lieu of taxes from Indian and Northern Affairs Canada and/or the Government of the NWT to the City of Yellowknife for the municipal costs of Ndilo?
- Does the City of Yellowknife account to Indian and Northern Affairs Canada for the dollars received in lieu of taxes? What are the expenditures over the past three years made by the City of Yellowknife on behalf of Ndilo?
- Most government of the NWT departments consider Ndilo a separate community from the City of Yellowknife. What would be required for Municipal and Community Affairs to also recognize it as a separate community?
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
