Yeah, thanks, Madam Chair. I guess there seems to be a lot of MACA issues piling up for transition. That's about all I can say. Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. So earlier today I received another non-answer to my question for the Minister to tell us how much each community gets of this community funding and how much that compares to the gap. I guess I'll start by saying is the Minister willing to publish that fact so we could have a coherent conversation about the municipal funding gap? Thank you.

Thank you. I guess I want to clarify, do we know that number? Do we actually have that information and you just won't share it publicly, or is it that you actually don't know what the gap should be for each community? Thank you.

So we are in the process of working on the three areas, and once we have that information then we will be able to provide it to the municipalities. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Okay, I guess getting what the communities should be getting under the formula seems impossible. Is the Minister willing to publish what the communities are getting? So I'm not concerned about what the formula says they should get; what of this actual public money that's being spent, how much is going to each community under the formula presently - the actual money, not the hypothetical money? Thank you.

Thank you. Can the Minister just tell me how he -- can the Minister commit to tabling a breakdown by each community? I don't want to ask -- I don't want to go how much does Aklavik get in this budget and under each fund, you know, for every single line item. Can we just table it as a breakdown? Thank you.
