Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, there is no grey area. The formula funding is flowed to the communities to deal with a lot of infrastructure that is required in communities and the community makes the decision as to how they want to spend the money that’s flowed through them. You can’t budget for unforeseen. It’s impossible to budget for unforeseen. We deal with those as they happen.
There was a situation that the Member was referring to where something happened in his community. The community saw that a need was there and they took care of it right away and, working with MACA, we were able to reimburse them some of that cost, because they needed to get the work done right away and I commend them for that. They took care of the work right away.
So, Mr. Chair, I think the communities are quite confident that if something does happen in their community, that it won’t be expected of them to foot the whole bill. We’d do whatever we can to see what pots of money there is out there that we can access on the community’s behalf.
