Thank you, Mr. Chair. I think all the Members recognize that the dollars allocated in this program are a far cry from what is actually needed to be able to accommodate all the different projects that are territorial in nature that are happening in the larger centres and in the small communities. We will consider all projects as best as we can. We’d like to be able to follow some of the earlier strategic initiatives that were put forward in terms of submissions to the federal government. We’d like to hear what the Regular Members have to offer in terms of recommendations. We’re open to communities coming forward.

It’s a real challenge, of course, to be able to deal with each issue as it comes forward. Communities and projects need investment to do the legwork, to do the research, to do the early investments to

describe and figure out what the scope of work is. But we want to be able to leave it as broad based as possible and try to capture many of the initiatives that are being brought forward, then try to narrow it down in terms of importance and realistic investment as we can. We’re not going to be able to do all of them, but we sure can try to see which ones would make the most sense.
