Thank you, Madam Chairperson. That is good; I thank the Minister for his response. The other thing that I just wanted to touch base on is the MRIF funding and the breakdown between tax-based and non-tax-based communities, and the fact that it is 55 percent to 45 percent in favour of the non-tax-based communities.

I know the Minister is well aware of my concern over the formula that was used and why we arrived at the breakdown that is evident here. I mentioned to him on previous occasions that 75 percent of the residents in the Northwest Territories live in tax-based municipalities and the greatest impact and the greatest ability to leverage what little funds there are, is available in the tax-based municipalities.

Not to downplay the need in the smaller communities. I know it is evident, but when you have this kind of money that you can leverage, I think it is important to try to get the most out of the money that you possibly can. I don't think, with the breakdown at 55/45, we are going to get the maximum bang for that dollar. I am not convinced of that.

The other thing I just wanted to mention too, was the fact that there is some additional funding, with the fuel tax monies that are going to be coming to the Northwest Territories. There is some criteria for a committee that is obviously going to be formed with the Northwest Territories Association of Communities and the Minister, for trying to work out how best to divvy up the funds that are coming to the Northwest Territories. I think one of the key things -- and it was the same with this MRIF funding -- was the impact on the population demand. Where the demand is, Madam Chairperson, I believe, is in the tax-based municipalities for some of this money. Like I said, it can be leveraged more than it can be in a non-tax-based community. As long as we are paying attention to that, that is all I had to say on that. Thank you, Madam Chairperson.
