Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I don't think we would have all our review completed before the end of this session. I would point out, however, to the honourable Member, that the village was operating in the capacity of a village for some time. It has only been in the last while that they have been experiencing some problems. There have been programs to provide subsidy to a number of communities. This community has been one of them. We want to take a good look at it. Let's find out where the problem is. If there is a problem, is it how the village spends its money? Is it the formula? What is causing the shortfall? Then we can move on to the next step from there. I can't say with any certainty right now what that next step is going to be until we take a good look at it. We have a study that has been underway. We have been working at it. We have looked at it. We have seen the first draft. We have provided our input and our comments on it. It has gone back. We are expecting to have the final draft come forward by probably the end of February. I would appreciate if we could just take the time to look at it fairly and make our judgment call from there. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
