Mr. Speaker, the Member is correct; there are some communities that he may think get close to what Yellowknife gets, but a lot of the tax-based communities have the opportunity to create their own revenue, raise their own revenue and a lot of the non-tax-based communities don’t have that option.
All different areas of the formula funding will be looked at. We try to treat the communities across the Northwest Territories fairly. That’s why we go with a base-plus funding model for a lot of the communities, so you don’t get the smaller communities with, like, 42 people getting $20 when some of the larger communities get a lot more. This is the fairest way and it’s the way we will continue to fund the communities so everybody’s treated fairly.
The formula funding, as I said, we are reviewing it. We talked to the communities. We actually just had a meeting this morning with one community that
had some concerns. We talk to the communities, we’ll get their input and then we’ll make some recommendations. Thank you.
