Thank you very much, Madam Chair. As MLA with the most communities, as I travel to the communities the leadership often ask me about capital planning transfers. They’re very grateful for it and part of the New Deal is that the communities are able to make their own decisions about when and where to buy their capital or to build buildings, et cetera. They’re often a little leery about the O and M formula. I think I raised it with the MACA Minister in the last Assembly and I think they said there was some kind of review happening in terms of the formula financing for O and M. In fact, I think, for example, the community of Jean Marie, I think all their existing building assets get transferred over to them April 1

st

and they’re very

concerned that there may not be enough O and M money attached to it. They feel that while it was a great idea, now the communities are stuck with the buildings, especially in the smaller communities. They have extra additional costs of bringing in plumbers and carpenters to help with their repairs, or boiler mechanics, et cetera. I’d just like to know once again if that review is going to be taken for the formula financing for O and M as it’s related to the capital buildings being transferred to the communities and any new buildings that they do build.
