Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I would like to ask the Minister when the last time the funding model, all of the money that is going to communities, has been reviewed. It appears as though sometimes, depending on how the year goes, they don't have enough money to fully operate an arena or the arena opens up fairly late. I was wondering if the Minister could advise, when they are doing the funding for the communities, if they contemplate all of the infrastructure that is in the community and if they target funding towards the infrastructure in that community.
I guess the reason I am asking this question, Mr. Chair, is because, prior to the New Deal, there were some arenas built with direct capital from the Government of the Northwest Territories. When the New Deal was created, I don't know if there has been substantial increase in the O and M, but I know that in the capital there haven't been any increases there. I am not sure that it shows a significant increase here as well.
I am wondering if there has been some sort of budget review, I guess we will call it for lack of a better term, at the community level so that we ensure that huge, expensive assets or infrastructure items like arenas are not sitting there empty, not used, when the department, even recreation, supports and encourages residents to become more physically active and so on and so forth, and also some responsibilities for youth. I am wondering when that review occurred last. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
