I apologize for that, Mr. Chairman. I thought we were on a different page. The $200,000 is the money that is identified for communities that provide ground ambulance services. Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, can the Minister give me a list of those communities? The other question was under other expenses, $190,000. Could he again tell me where the $190,000 is going to be expended and which communities?

Mr. Chairman, the one under other expenses is the O and M for the staff and, to the Member’s second question, there are seven communities that are identified and some of the larger communities: Yellowknife, Inuvik, Hay River, Fort Smith, Fort Simpson, Fort McPherson, Fort Providence. As I stated earlier, some of them haven’t applied for the money because of the liability and they are working on community
capacity before they feel they are able to apply for this money. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have a question here with regards to the review of the operations and maintenance funding for communities, which I understand was being done sometime in this fiscal year. Could I get some information from the Minister as to whether or not that review has been done and what the results were, maybe in a nutshell? Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Is that on this page or is that on regional operations? I know there is infrastructure on this page. I see operations and maintenance on regional operations. Perhaps it is here too. Minister, would you comment?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Specific to the management of drinking water in the NWT, what role does Municipal and Community Affairs partner with the City of Yellowknife specific to that, and is there a dollar amount attached to that support or is it just community money? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The money is primarily made available for circuit rider and some course development. We also provide money... We have a small pot of funding of $50,000 that we make available for communities when they’re applying for their water licences, but there’s no support specifically earmarked in specific communities. We provide the support specifically around the circuit rider for operations and maintenance of water treatment plants where that support is required. Thank you.

Is that a draw down by community for… I’m just trying to understand the process there. Maybe if the deputy minister could explain how someone can access that, as well as if he said training. I wasn’t sure. If you could elaborate on that. Thank you.

Primarily, the circuit rider training is available for… The School of Community Government and the community operations division provide training to those communities who have new water treatment plants and require the training and assistance with maintaining those water treatment plants. The purpose of the circuit rider is to make sure that we have a certified operator who can provide training to those communities who don’t yet have certified operators in the operations and maintenance of their plants. Thank you.
