Just a short comment there, Madam Chair. It’s just with the increase of the infrastructure in the communities. It’s very interesting to hear the Minister talk about further discussions and the formula funding. Of interest, I want to raise the point of type of infrastructure that possibly could be needed in the town of Norman Wells with the increase of the oil and gas activity and that sort of being the regional staging area for the oil and gas companies in regard to the different activity that’s going to happen this year and next year. Is that something that the government is looking at, that type of funding to support the town of Norman Wells on their infrastructure and the use of oil companies using their additional infrastructure, which is sewer and wastage in other areas that the town may not have the dollars to support that?
Also, along with some of the infrastructure that’s going into the communities, communities are starting to prioritize their needs, because they’re only getting so much money a year and they want to do many things. However, as you go further up north, the cost of living is high and the cost of doing business is high there. Is that something that’s considered in the formula?
I know there’s a formula, I just don’t quite understand it well enough there, and you don’t need to explain it to me now. Is that something that MACA has considered? I think that’s something that the community is getting used to, and when they take over some of the infrastructure, they don’t quite yet know if that’s a good thing or until they fully understand what it means to take over some of the infrastructure. They are planning some of their work out for themselves and it’s quite costly. Those are the points I wanted to raise. Thank you.
