Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I heard the number 29. Why are the other four communities not involved in this program? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. That is application-based. The other communities did not apply. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I am wondering if, because these are application-based programs, does MACA maintain a database of different applications that communities have put in that communities could potentially draw from so that they're not starting from scratch or trying to reinvent the wheel of a program that is working really well for another neighbouring community? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. We do not share, but if the applicant would like to work towards a program, we are there to support and see them through the application. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Is the Minister willing to create access to this information or kind of a database, even on their website, of different programs that communities are putting together so that communities are able to work together to take advantage of this funding? A lot of times, there is a need for capacity to be able to, not only put these programs on, but also do the work for the grants that need to be done in order to get the funding. If we have that information readily available for programs that are working, it takes a lot of that work away from communities having to put that work in to get the money. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you to the Member for that suggestion. I would like to put that information together of what MACA has supported and look at interest throughout the Northwest Territories. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Minister. Are there any other questions under regional operations? Seeing no further questions, please look on page 337. Municipal and Community Affairs, regional operations, operations expenditure summary, 2020-2021 Main Estimates, $96,577,000. Does committee agree?

Thank you, committee. We will now turn to Municipal and Community Affairs, School of Community Government, starting on page 341, with information items up to page 344. Questions? Questions on School of Community Government? Member for Kam Lake.

Thanks, Madam Chair. Frame Lake. What will be the role of the School of Community Government with regard to implementation of access to information and protection of privacy legislation at the municipal level? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I am going to revert this question over to Ms. Young. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. This hasn't been defined yet, because we actually have our first working group meeting with our stakeholder group in April, at the end of April. Part of the role of that working group is to map out what implementation of access to information will look like for community governments, including identifying training needs. Once that is identified, then we will be able to be clearer and more succinct about what exactly the school's role will be in terms of delivery of training to support this, but we do not have a definitive answer to that as of yet. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thanks, Madam Chair. I take what the deputy minister said, and maybe my next question might be a little bit speculative. Presumably, though, the School of Community Government would have some role to play or LGANT, Local Government Administrators of the Northwest Territories, is going to have some role to play in making sure that there are training modules or seminars or workshops available so that staff are going to know how to do access to information in the future. If there are additional resources needed, that might come in the form of a supplementary appropriation. Does that seem like a logical approach? Thanks, Madam Chair.
