In the past, oftentimes, even in Stanton — if my memory serves me correctly, between 1999 and 2003 — the authority has had a deficit. The practice has been that there is a combination of requiring the authority to try to come up with the money in the following year to balance the budget, and the authority has been able to do that. I’m talking specifically to Stanton, for about three years after that, and then they had more deficits after that.
My answer to the Member is that authorities have the flexibility. They are block funded. They run lots of different programs, of different sizes, whether you’re comparing Stanton to Deh Cho or Sahtu. Often, they make internal decisions about their financial status.
On occasion, as was mentioned earlier, Stanton has been given some extra cash. Beaufort-Delta was given extra cash on two occasions. We have Deh Cho Health Authority, which is running a surplus because they are not able to fill most of the positions. These are all different characteristics.
