Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we have been working on a number of funding allocations that we provide to the communities. We have had discussions with the NWT Association of Communities. We have had discussions with LGANT, Local Government Administrators in the Northwest Territories, and we've also had a discussion in the communities with the different municipalities about a number of areas where we provide funding. Of course, the New Deal is something that's on the drawing board and we have rolled out the information and communications to the community. We've also been allocated some new dollars to put towards the capital infrastructure in the communities and this has increased from $17 million to what it is now at $28 million. We've provided that information and we continue to provide that information for the communities. As part of this process in reviewing community governance, we're also reviewing the water and sewer subsidy and we are also having discussions regarding the O and M for the community for governance. We will continue to do so. We have another round of discussions happening this spring and we plan to bring some of that information forward when we complete all those discussions. Thank you.
