Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I appreciate the Member’s comments. We collectively have managed our way through, in this Assembly, some very significant issues with the wrench in the economy to what is happening in the world around us. I agree that the billion dollars would not have been possible without the cost shared dollars with the feds, some of it 50 cent dollars, some of it 75 cent dollars.
The issue of energy efficiency is a key one. I know the Member has said he is tired of hearing about the $60 million, but that was a commitment of this Assembly that is going to pay dividends for us. We will continue to look at the issue of full-cost accounting so we can fully capture the cost and negatives and pluses of any particular project that is being suggested.
The economic variable that the Member has talked about, we have acknowledged that we will look at that. Of course, I would just like to point out, when the Member mentioned two communities of comparable size and circumstance, it would of course automatically mean that this would be a criteria that applies everywhere except Yellowknife, which would have to be considered so that we do have a level playing field, but it is one that could require discussion. I think it would have some complexities that would be discovered as we look at it in detail. However, we recognize that it has been raised by committee.
The issue of the formal funding for communities I think are reviewed on a regular basis but, once again, we would look to the advice from committee. Thank you.
