Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Member is correct. We have looked at our O and M funding in the water and sewer and as a result of forced growth, and working with communities on some of the water and sewer, funding was increased. The O and M funding is one that we still need to work on a bit, because with all the capital money and capital projects that are going into communities, the concern we’re hearing from communities is that the O and M funding is not keeping up to the amount of capital that they’ve got. Considering our fiscal situation, I think there’s only so much we can put into increasing the O and M funding every year. It’s an ongoing review. We’re trying to get our communities up closer to keep up with the amount of infrastructure that’s getting on the ground. It’s a work in progress and I commit to keeping Members updated on the work we’re doing as we go along. We work closely with the NWT Association of Communities and the Local Government Administrators of the NWT. We rely quite heavily on their advice and input into how we design our programs.
As far as the capital goes, I think I said last year that one of the concerns we got from our partners is that the capital funding is okay the way it is, the O and M funding is the one that needs some more work to keep up with the capital. We’re continuing to do that again. I will provide Members with an update on these formulas as we’re going along.
