For clarity, I asked a question. I wanted to know if it was, for all 33 communities, per capita.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Like Mr. Gary Schauerte had mentioned, this is based on infrastructure that we do have for the smaller communities. This is for all 33 communities, based on the infrastructure. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Further to that question, then: if you are going per capita and according to communities and it's all 33 communities, including the capital, that doesn't leave very much for small communities and regions. I would like to know the breakdown of the regional centres, the capital, and then the small communities. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Just for the Member to clarify, this is funding available to smaller communities, and you want to have a list of how much MACA provides each community annually? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. For clarity, there are 33 communities. That includes the capital. I want to know how much the capital gets, how much the regional centres get, the three regional centres or whatever, and the rest for the small communities, as totals. There is a big disparity within the regions and small communities. I would like to see the disparity in numbers.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I will have to follow up with the Member. We do have additional funding that is provided besides what is offered territorially to all communities throughout the territory. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Madam Chair, I think I am making myself very clear of what I want with that line. I am not talking about any other line. I'm just talking about that one line. It's, all the way through, the same. I made it very clear, and I would like to know how much it is, broken down. I am not asking for 50,000 different figures. I am asking for a figure because we go per capita in assets for the capital, what we give to the regional centres and what's left for the communities. That is all I'm asking. Thank you, Madam Chair.

I could ask one more question that has to do with the grant-in-lieu of taxes. That is for all of the taxable communities, or does that also include the grants-in-lieu with Stanton, or does Stanton come out of Health and Social Services, just a clarity? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. The grant-in-lieu program provides grants to six municipal taxation authority communities in lieu of taxes. The six communities are the regional centres, including Yellowknife and the five other regional centres. The amount of money in here includes all government assets in those communities that are eligible for payment according to the policy. Within that envelope of funding includes an increase this year of $1.4 million, and those are for facilities located in Fort Smith, Hay River, and Inuvik, are the additional assets that came onboard this year, which we are paying for now. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I just wanted to get a bit more information on page 348, the water and sewer services funding. Could the department explain: is that for operations and maintenance of water and sewer services, or are there any new projects or any capital that ends up out of this budget? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. The department had upgraded a majority of the water treatment plants. I will have Mr. Gary Schauerte elaborate on the water and sewer funding. Thank you, Madam Chair.
