I want to talk about the money that was given to Hay River to support the corridor when we took it over and the justification for that additional funding is still there. You can't not take a cookie-cutter approach to this. Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the...and we don't want to spend our capital on water/sewer subsidy. Yes, we got more capital. Thank you. And yes, we got more money for O and M. Thank you for that. But we're given that for a reason, and we don't want to spend our capital on water/sewer subsidy. So I would like to ask the Minister, what kind of fairness is there in not giving a municipal corporation forewarning of such a drastic cut that would allow them to prepare for it? Could there not have been a phase-in of this reduction? Thank you.
