Thank you, Madam Chair. As Minister Thompson said, we are working with the NWTAC on asset management planning. It's a concern of community governments as well as the NWTAC board.
In terms of, you know, how the lack of asset management plans relates to the mandate funding gap, we do have considerable amount of asset management data. We used it for our 2014 municipal gap review. We get -- so the community governments belong to a common insurance company called Norsix. They share their insurance data with us. You know, it's a big piece of their work to make sure all of their assets are insured. We have that data. We have a lot of data from, you know, pre-new deal on the nature and level of assets.
For those communities where we don't have a complete listing, you know, we do have regional staff who are aware of communities and are aware of what assets are in place in each community. So that is how we've worked with the NWTAC to quantify the asset management gap, using data from community governments and own source. So we're certainly on that. Thank you.
