Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the Yukon also doesn't have 33 communities that have schools and airports. We have in the Northwest Territories a number of extra costs that you wouldn't find in a jurisdiction that doesn't have a population as dispersed as ours. It's more of a challenge to fund programs in the Northwest Territories. The Member also mentioned the cost of power not being met by the $30,000 one-time extra grant that we provided this year. I'd just like to remind the Member that the GNWT picks up the total cost of power for the facility, all utilities, in fact, and all maintenance. We spend approximately $48,000 a year doing that. So that's in addition to what's provided to the centre in terms of an operating grant.
I am committed to working with the department to see if we can continue to maintain the grant at the level it is and we will do all we can to do that. I would encourage all Members to support NACC. It's a good facility and I know I purchased two season tickets this year, as did the Premier and Mr. Bell, and I would hope that all Members would do that to keep the facility as liquid as possible. Thank you.
