Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I appreciate the Member’s concerns and comments.
I’d just like to add another project that’s on the list that should help with the cost of living. If we move forward once again with the ability to progress on our alternative energy priorities, the Tuk wind farm, which would be a significant investment, is one of the ones on the top of the list to be done when those resources become available.
I’d also like to suggest that even though it’s not part of this capital plan, there is the housing capital allocation for communities that may be of interest. I’m not sure what’s all in there for the ’09–10 budget, but it would help round off some of the concerns. Many of the concerns raised by Members in regard to the capital plan actually touched on housing, just as an information item.
The other comment is with the infrastructure money to communities. The Member for Nunakput’s
communities will be getting $4.6 million as well for their community needs over the coming year, ’09–10.
