The committee Members developed recommendations about capital and application-based contribution funding. Their examination indicated that most of the government's funding is not based primarily or solely on population criteria. However, the allocations usually do take population into consideration in various ways. Most GNWT contribution funding is not guided by well-defined allocation criteria. The committee Members recommend that there should be a review of funding methodologies in order to determine options that would be useful for GNWT funding in the smaller communities.
