Mr. Chairman, as we explained when we went through the supplementary on the special warrant for $1.3 million, we informed the Legislative Assembly that it would not be possible to haul this gravel after the main estimates were approved. It wouldn't have been possible to do this work this year. Without the ability to do the work this year, the road would not have... What's wrong? Mr. Chairman, maybe you should call for some order, because I don't know what's going on in here.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, at the time all this was presented to the Assembly in the last session and at the time this was being dealt with in the supplementary, it was thought that all this work could be completed by April 1st. However, it turned out that finalizing the laying of the top layer on the road would not be completed until after the road thawed out again.

Mr. Chairman, community governance includes what the Minister referred to in relation to the school of community governance. It involves the training of the local SAOs and the councils.

Mr. Chairman, this would make, obviously, more workload on the regional offices, but they figure they can handle it. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, this is a reduction in contracts to people that would assist MACA by going into communities and supplying financial assistance to them, advice and what not.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am advised that Municipal and Community Affairs was scheduled to go into Aklavik on June 9th to hold their capital planning consultation. It would have been at that time that the community would identify this as a capital priority and, therefore, they would put it in the business plan in that way. I do not have the information right now when the region will be reviewing all the applications under the special initiatives. So as soon as I have this back I will advise the Member and the community. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, Municipal and Community Affairs would prefer that we use the present programs that are available for communities to access funding for capital rather than take them straight to Financial Management Board Secretariat. At the present time the Aklavik hamlet has put in an application to Municipal and Community Affairs under the special initiatives program for $200,000 toward the ball diamond. The regional office has not responded to that particular application as yet. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I believe when I met with the municipality that they had a number of options on which approach Municipal and Community Affairs for funding for the ball diamond. One, when capital planning appeared the community could identify the ball diamond there as a priority. That was one option. The other option was that they could apply for funding under the special initiative program that we just introduced. Thirdly, they could ask Municipal and Community Affairs to take a special request to Financial Management Board Secretariat for funding for the ball diamond for this year. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I did attend a meeting with the mayor and other residents of Aklavik this spring on that particular issue and I believe there was an agreement at that time that there would be $50,000 worth of funding towards a ball diamond from Health and Social Services. The Aklavik hamlet would be contributing some granular material to create a temporary ball diamond for this year while they work at putting in place a permanent ball diamond. Thank you.
