Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Member keeps referring to the public transit funding as Yellowknife's money.
---Laughter
I'm not sure where he's getting that idea. Mr. Speaker, the public transit funding was announced with no clear definition as to allocation. Mr. Speaker, we've been working hard over the last while to try to come to getting a contribution agreement signed; we're expecting to have one either by the end of this month or early in the new year. The pot of money that's available is now $1.7 million and it's anticipated that Yellowknife will be able to get a good portion of it, but it is now open to the NWT. We've developed a criteria that will allow the communities to buy their own community buses or vans. Some communities have indicated that they'd like to have support for purchasing transportation for the disabled; some communities wanted the ability to purchase transportation for seniors; and we're trying to accommodate all that. Mr. Speaker, I'm not working with this in isolation. We have a working group and the NWT Association of Communities is an organization that we bounce a lot of our ideas off and we anticipate to have an agreement shortly.
