I believe that we do have very major infrastructure problems — our community especially. There’s federal legislation that’s being developed, or has been developed, looking at the possibility of having to process our grey water. Right now we just pump it out of a house, put it into a vehicle and put it into a sump. I think there’s talk about having to process that through a treatment facility.

Again, there’s going to be a major cost implication to communities, where you’re going to have to start treating your grey water. I’m just making the Premier aware that there are going to be implications, especially for smaller communities, non–tax-based communities, which will not be able to, unless we match some of these funds.

That’s why I asked the question of the possibility of matching or, basically, getting some money through the municipal infrastructure fund and maybe through that Building Canada Fund which can assist these small communities where you will have a major capital cost, especially if we have to force all our communities to go into the arrangement of having to treat grey water in all our communities. I think there is that financial implication that is coming, and I think we have to be ready for it.

Also, the problem we see from putting water treatment plants in communities where the costs have skyrocketed and where we’re realizing.… I believe we have ten communities on a list, and we’re only able to do five. Again, with the limited dollars we have, we have to be able to stretch it as far as we can.

I’d like to ask the Premier exactly.… I know we’re still in negotiations on the Building Canada Fund. Is that something we can bring forward to the federal government to see if we have the flexibility of doing that — being able to move this money around and also joining these two funding sources together for any large capital projects that may come in well over our allowable amounts, because we won’t able to match it, especially if we expect the small communities to match those projects.
