Thank you. Mr. Beaulieu.

Thank you. That is what I said. I thought it was under 100,000 but over 10,000, so what the deputy is saying is that they have removed the bottom, so it is from 100,000 to 44? Thank you.

Thank you. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. That is correct in terms of the Small Communities Fund. What I can do and will commit to is I will share the information and the allocations of that funding with Members so that they know what their communities are getting in their ridings.

Thank you. Mr. Beaulieu.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I believe that, if it is allocated to all the communities in the Northwest Territories, I am fine with that. I don't necessarily need to see it in writing. A commitment here is sufficient as far as I am concerned. Maybe, if the Minister wishes, share it with other Members. I just knew that that was the criteria at one point when we looked at this fund, when it first came out. The only community that was eligible for this was Yellowknife, and so, at one point, all of the money in this fund went into Yellowknife. So, since then, obviously there has been a change at the federal level, so I suppose that it is now going to all communities. If it is going to all communities, I am happy with that. Thank you.

Thank you for that. Minister, would you like to respond at all?

If any of the Members want to see the allocations for the riding, just send us an e-mail. Actually, we could just get this out to everyone, just so you know where the allocations are going and what projects are in their communities. Thank you.

Thank you. Mr. Nakimayak.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. On page 362, on the information items, I see that national disaster mitigation for Tuktoyaktuk was $48,000. I'd just like to get a little update on that, Mr. Chair. Thank you.

Thank you. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The Member is right. There is an agreement with the Government of Canada to support the Flood and Shoreline Erosion Mitigation Plan for the community of Tuktoyaktuk under the National Disaster Mitigation Program. We continue to work with the federal government and, as I mentioned, I was at an FTP meeting not too long ago where we were focusing on trying to get more support for some of these types of federal dollars. I do believe that it should be completed in March. Obviously, we just had a new election in Tuktoyaktuk not too long ago, and we are just getting their new elected officials and staff updated on the application and the plan that was submitted to the federal government, and we will continue to work with them to address that concern.

Thank you. Mr. Nakimayak.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thanks to the Minister for that. I know that Tuktoyaktuk was struggling last year with the loss of an SAO and the lack of communications with this, so I'm just wondering if the community lost out on any funding dollars, whether it's from Canada or from the GNWT, on this project due to the lack of communication and change in leadership? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. Ms. Young.

Thank you. Mr. Nakimayak.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate that. I'm just thinking about, you know, I mentioned during the session we talk about climate change and our eyes are only trained enough to notice it in the summer. You know, out of sight, out of mind in the wintertime. We've been faced with a lot of blizzards all over the territory, and that's really hard on our infrastructure, whether it's territorial, municipal, or Indigenous governments' infrastructure. I think we need to look at that moving forward into 2019-2020, and beyond into the next Assembly, to see what we can do to help assist communities with their disaster planning for the winter months, as well. Thank you, Mr. Chair. That's not a question; it's more just a comment.

Thank you, Mr. Nakimayak. Mr. Blake.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just under the same heading, for Aklavik. I just want to make sure that that is ongoing funding. I know the community did have a lot of plans about erosion on the Bickish Road, but that more work needs to be done, so I just want to ensure that that is ongoing funding. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. Ms. Young.

Thank you. Mr. Blake.
