Thank you, Madam Chair. The number has been fairly consistent for a number of years. We have been fortunate that we’ve had huge federal government investment in our infrastructure and our O and M needs to catch up with that. We need to look at that. As well, every year they get the gas tax money which allows them to do water treatment plants. They have the ability to finance a lot of the projects. We’ve had some communities that have stepped up to the plate, showed some real leadership and went out, financed and managed their whole project, and they’ve come in probably a lot cheaper than we would have been able to do it.

As well, we’ve been having discussions with Canada in the last little while. We’re not quite sure what kind of new program they might come out with. We’ve had some discussions with Minister Lebel and Minister Fletcher, and they’ve spoken to… They’re looking at trying to find another funding source to replace some of the money they’ve been giving us over the last… We’re looking forward to hearing what comes out of that, and maybe we’ll have an indication in the upcoming budget. We don’t know. But they went across country and we laid out some of our concerns as far as some of our challenges go and they took note of all that. We’re looking forward to see what they roll out next.

But as far as our numbers go, $28 million is the figure that we give to the communities from the Government of the Northwest Territories as well. They’ve had access to a number of federal government funding pots over the last number of years, which has really helped the communities go a long way as far as their infrastructure goes. Thank you.
