What are the penalties for authorities or agents that don’t get the money, do not expend the money in those communities? Are there any penalties put on them by way of doing an audit or basically telling them that you are not going to fund them, your money will go directly to the community? I have a real problem with the deficits that have been running in the Inuvik authority over the last six years, which they got their budget to run their authorities. On top of it, this government spent $20 million in supplementary appropriations to bump up their budgets every year for six years. I think that is criminal by way of how that authority has been able to operate and yet your government doesn’t seem to do anything about it. I would like to know exactly what the consequences are of not spending that money where it is supposed to be expended.
