Thank you, Madam Chair. The Member is correct; the infrastructure budget itself hasn’t changed from the $28 million in 2000, but what we’ve done is we’ve heard from the communities and they are challenged, they are getting more and more buildings and they’re challenged with the O and M side of it. But we have made it a little more flexible with the capital budget where they’re able to use 10 percent towards their O and M.
As far as increasing the infrastructure budget, their biggest concern right now was the O and M side of it. We’re working with Canada to try to find out what our share of the new Building Canada Program is going to be. Until we hear that, we’re not anticipating any change to this particular budget. Maybe there might be some we look at next year.
I think we’re challenged for the next couple of years as far as our fiscal situation goes, but we’ve heard loud and clear from the communities that they appreciate very much the infrastructure they’ve been given over the years and the flexibility to choose their own projects, but their biggest challenge was the O and M. So we’ve put in there that they are able to use 10 percent towards their O and M. Thank you.
