Okay, thank you for that. I don't really have any more questions other than to say that -- just a comment that I think it's also two issues I think we -- you know, we can't get a commitment on trying to sort out the name change properly because, I mean, my riding's got four communities but yet we're logged into the South Slave and North Slave but then when you break it all down, there's really no monies there for my communities. And when you take a look at, you know, other projects that's going on, I mean -- I mean, I'm going back to 1999. I could even go back further, that there was really no new development -- lot development in our communities. So, but yet the mandate of this government is to have more housing. Well then, yes, we could have more housing but then if we get no money more lot development then, you know, we got to start planning for that. So I'm looking forward to mention this to the Indigenous governments at the local level and say that, you know, we should actually start working together. And I'd like to see the Minister reach out to the chiefs and the Indigenous governments to start a dialogue and go from there. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I just want to get a sense I guess, when we talk about community planning, what are the components of that; if you could maybe just elaborate a bit on that? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. This area of MACA is responsible to provide advice on community planning and development to community governments, and we have a number of tools to assist in that area. Under municipal legislation, community governments are responsible to develop community plans and develop zoning bylaws, and it's the staff in this unit that assist them with that. Community plans are a very important planning tool for community governments, and they cover a wide variety of purposes, including describing future land use plans. You know, they have statements around protecting environmentally sensitive lands. They address provision of everything from transportation services to public utilities to municipal services and facilities. And it's the staff in this area, along with staff in our regional offices, that provide community governments with support for their community planning responsibilities. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Have those components, I guess, expanded over time, or are we looking at anything new? I guess what I'm thinking about is we're talking about emergency preparedness just because of flooding and the amount of money that was spent, I guess, to repair damages. So how much has that responsibility expanded for communities, you know, as they develop their plans, and is there numbers attached to those increased responsibilities? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. So as community governments and MACA become aware of I guess common themes across community governments, we would work to update our templates and our guidance documents to community governments. For example, the Member mentioned emergency preparedness. So we would -- although that wouldn't necessarily be in a community plan but certainly things like, you know, taking climate change adaptation into account and location of buildings. You know, those sorts of things would make its way into your guidance documents. We work closely with the NWTAC on some of the requirements that are required under community plans and just to make sure that it's applicable to all community governments and not just one or two. But certainly our tools and guidance and templates do get updated and communicated to community governments as circumstances change. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. You talk about, I guess, climate change adaptation. And I'm just thinking about, I guess, the community of, I guess, Hay River and K'atlodeeche, the reserve, and the ones on the south side of the lake. We have Taltson there which is spilling over excess energy. I'm just wondering if that's been a consideration when we're looking at adapting and trying to reduce greenhouse gases and reduce costs? Thank you.
