We are working with the working group with regards to the allocation of this funding. This working group is made up of representatives from LGAT, NWT Association of Communities, MACA and the Department of Human Resources. We haven’t made any decisions yet, but some of our initial thinking is that the funding would be used to implement a number of different programs. For example, the development of a municipal internship program, a marketing and recruitment initiative to attract young people to work in municipal government, support to LGAT to extend their capacity building initiatives and also to look at our communities for pooling of human resource-related functions amongst communities. For those of you that don’t know what LGAT is, it is Local Government Administrators of the Northwest Territories. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
