Thank you, Madam Chair. The only thing I will say is there are three pots; I am trying to remember what they are. It's capital, operating and maintenance, and wastewater? It has been a while since I've been MACA. Water and sewer. The difficulty that I have noticed over the years is that the communities keep screaming, "We need our $40 million, $40 million, $40 million," but we have almost matched them for the operating and maintenance and the water and sewer. The piece that is left is the capital.
However, what they are not including in that is that MACA has done an awesome job over the years of actually getting federal money for the capital. At no time has that federal money been taken into account on this $40 million, and that is what I struggle with as an MLA, is that they are saying, "It's still $40 million; we need the money," but they're not adding the money from the federal government.
Sometimes you have to do this. If you look at our mandates, some of this is about them generating their own, giving them the ability so that they can generate their own. We have to do a better job of communicating that it's not only the GNWT. They need to take into account the federal money. They need to take into account their own ability to earn money. We're all in a tough spot; I think I heard that today again. The only way that we can make money is from royalties, federal government, and taxes, but many of the governments don't want to raise taxes, and neither do we, but we all have to take ownership in this, because not one of us is in a position that we have money growing on trees. We're all in debt. Thank you, Madam Chair.
