Thank you, Mr. Thompson. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. No, our guidelines actually are very explicit on the type of infrastructure that they are allowed to utilize out of the capital funding. If they have used their funding inappropriately against the guidelines, then we work very closely with the communities to try to get them to stay on track. They may have to sometimes pay back from other revenues that they may take in, but we have explicit guidelines on where they are allowed to spend the money, and we do oversee to make sure that that funding is spent appropriately. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister. There is nothing further from Mr. Thompson. I believe I will call on Mr. Testart. Mr. Testart.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. On page 67 of MACA's capital infrastructure is a list of communities, and it is related to the community government share of capital formula funding, but there are no dollar amounts listed. Can the Minister explain why that is? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Testart. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. For many years now, the funding within the capital estimates process has actually been provided as line items. However, the information is public. It is public through our MACA update, if Regular MLAs are looking to access that information.

We also provide all communities their funding. In September to December, we provide a listing of all community funding to the communities so that they can actually use that to plan for their capital expenditures and, of course, for their operating and maintenance. All of the funding is provided to them during that term. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister. Mr. Testart.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. That information is already public. Is there any reason not to print it here, just for greater transparency of these budget documents? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Testart. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Like I said, that information is public at this point. You can access it through our website. I will carry that recommendation forward into the next year's capital estimates planning process. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister. Do I have anything further for general comments? Seeing none, we will defer consideration of the departmental total until after consideration of the activity summaries, the first of which can be found on page 66. Municipal and Community Affairs, regional operations, infrastructure investments, $27,193,000. Does committee agree?

Thank you, committee. Turning to page 69, with associated information item on page 70, Municipal and Community Affairs, public safety, infrastructure investments, $115,000. Does committee agree?

Thank you, committee. Turning back to page 64, Municipal and Community Affairs, total capital estimates, $27,308,000. Does committee agree?

Thank you, committee. Does committee agree that we have concluded consideration of the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs?

Thank you, committee. Thank you to the witness for appearing before us. Sergeant-at-Arms, you may escort the witness from the Chamber. Committee, next we have agreed to consider the Department of Lands, which begins on page 58. I will turn to the Minister responsible for any opening comments he may have. Minister Sebert.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have no opening comments.

Thank you, Minister. Do you wish to bring witnesses into the Chamber?

Yes, I do.

Sergeant-at-Arms, please escort the witnesses into the Chamber. Minister, will you please introduce your witnesses to the Chamber.
