Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I guess, just looking at the capital funding and the New Deal for MACA, I just want to make some general comments and ask a couple of questions for clarification. I’ve always felt that the smaller communities in the NWT have less infrastructure, less good infrastructure than the larger communities. I understand that a lot of that infrastructure is built up with property taxes and so on that may not be levied as high in small communities and that creates a market, that creates incentives for individuals to ensure that their own properties are of a higher standard to get a better market value. Unfortunately, in small communities there is no market, but I still feel that the government is under some sort of obligation at this time to get some sort of equalization into equalization funding or catch-up funding in some of

the communities that are lagging a little further behind than others, like some that don’t have basic roads and so on. We have communities that don’t have roads even within the communities.

So I think that I understand that we are working towards that by changing the status of some of the communities. My first question for the government is, when a band government, a First Nations government incorporates, does the funding then come to them at a level of hamlet status or settlement status is what the community gets now although they are not getting the transfer at this time, but they are funded at a settlement status, for a lack of not knowing what else to call it? That’s my first question.
