Mr. Speaker, I think the document the Member is referring to says Yellowknife has the only public transportation system and it doesn't define the criteria. The criteria that is in place is something we had to negotiate; we had to sit down and talk to our NWT Association of Communities and also the federal government to work out a mechanism that would allow us to spend money in different areas. That's what we're doing and the money will be available. I'm sure the bulk of the money would be able to be applied for and received by Yellowknife, but it's also now a fair process where all NWT communities can apply for and have the ability to apply for these dollars.
