Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just have a general question in regard to the infrastructure funding for communities. I think it’s well known, I don’t think it’s anything new to the Minister, that communities suffer an infrastructure deficit. Every community in the NWT, every community across Canada is suffering from a lack of infrastructure or aging infrastructure or infrastructure that needs upgrading and/or renovations. It’s my understanding that the amounts of infrastructure contributions to communities have been the same amount for about five years. There hasn’t been any increase for quite some time. It’s also my understanding that at this time, or maybe soon to be happening, that there may or may not be a review of the infrastructure contribution formula, that formula that MACA uses to determine how much money each community gets.
When I asked the question or made some comments at the start of this capital budget, I was advised that there is a review perhaps happening biannually. I’d like to ask the Minister or the deputy minister, when will the current infrastructure contribution formula for communities be reviewed to see whether or not it’s still applicable to today’s economics and the numbers of infrastructure buildings that communities have. Thank you.
