Thank you, Mr. Chair. I didn't know that the Member spoke for all of the communities across the Northwest Territories, first of all. Secondly, it is not about stimulating economy, it is about addressing core needs that our communities have. Filling in the gap, as I mentioned earlier, when we look at what those gaps are, it is really the bigger centres: Yellowknife, Hay River, Inuvik, Fort Smith. We also want to make sure that we take care of our smaller communities, Mr. Chair. The Member spoke on it, and the reality is where our economy is right now, what our revenues are right now in the GNWT, and we have got to make sure that we make the best decisions across the Northwest Territories in terms of how we address this community government funding.
As we go through this budget, I just want to remind the Member that we also have other priorities: Health and Social Services, Education, and Housing, for one, my other portfolio. I just wanted to mention that. Really, when we come down to it, it is core needs for our communities across the Northwest Territories. We will be releasing a strategy in May/June. In my Minister's statement, I did mention that, over the last four years, there has been an increase of about $8 million, working with our municipalities and our leadership to address the priorities and needs that they have, as well. We are continuing to work with our stakeholders, and we will continue to work with our stakeholders moving forward to address these needs and priorities. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
