This is a message that I have been working on trying to get out to the community, that communities have all the responsibility. MACA will continue to give them their capital money. There is a base funding that we are hoping that is ongoing so communities can plan for future capital needs. There are other sources of money, too, that the department along with the GNWT have been trying to access to pass on to the communities. The GAP tax funding is a perfect example. That is going on for another few years. The Building Canada Fund, any other money that we are able to get from the government to use that and pass that on to the communities so that can help them meet their infrastructure needs. That is what this priority of this department is and that is what we will continue to do. The bottom line is the capital plan and the capital infrastructure are now decided on by the communities. Thank you.
