Mr. Chairman, the process that’s used has been used for quite a number of years. It is a common process that we use, even when we go into the business planning development stage and to the main estimates that this House would deal with, with projects that fall into the Municipal and Community Affairs area, where the asset that is being constructed becomes property of the community.
This is a result of direction that was given from the Public Sector Accounting Board in 1997 on the way governments deal with their capital assets, and that is when we came into the amortization era of government and how we do business. We’ve implemented those changes through our accounting structures, and it goes back to the area of who owns the asset when it’s completed.
In this case, it only happens with Municipal and Community Affairs because the asset will not be owned by the Government of the Northwest Territories. It will be owned by the community.
