Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair, and I thank the Member for his concerns and comments. That's, I think, the main direction for the Skills 4 Success Action Plan is to get out into the small communities. I know we've had Members who have brought those concerns forward of finding unique ways to increase the employment and the training and skill development in our small communities throughout the Northwest Territories. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I was happy with the responses that came from the Minister on the community learning centres in Fort Resolution and Ndilo. However, I asked the questions on the wrong category as yesterday we were on schools and not the college. So I just, I guess, wanted to clarify if the responses yesterday would still be applicable, even though they were given in a different category. Thank you.

No. I just want to thank the Members for their questions, and I know there are a lot of concerns and a lot of issues out there in terms of infrastructure needs throughout the Northwest Territories. We try our best to meet them as we move forward.
Sitting as a Regular Member in the 17th, I understand some of the frustrations, but, in our current fiscal situation and with all the competing infrastructure needs, it's always a tough job to see where we put the dollars. But I appreciate the questions and just thank everybody for their support and the questions that they had. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister Cochrane. Committee, we will defer the total estimate, $28,002,000 until after consideration of activity summaries. Starting on page 65, Municipal and Community Affairs, regional operations, infrastructure investments, $28,002,000. Any questions? Mr. Beaulieu.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, it's been many years since the municipalities had an increase in the capital estimates. I know that they sometimes shuffle the money around from one community to another, but the bottom line never changes. So I'd like to ask the Minister if there is any possibility that this number will go up sometime soon. I don't ever remember it being anything other than $28,002,000, so I'll start with that, Mr. Chairman.
