Thank you again, Mr. Chairman. Under capital infrastructure for community libraries various…Oh, I'm sorry; I'm going to have to wait until next year. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just for the record, I'd like to ask the Minister why there's nothing allocated there for the Mangilaluk School. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We talked a bit about the Income Support Program. Again, I go back to 2003-04, $15.717 million. The main estimates for 2004-05 was $17.956 million and after the revised 2004-05, it was $18.056 million. Can the Minister give us a breakdown on the regions on income support assistance?

I know, earlier this year, I was going to make a presentation to the Aurora College Board of Governors, but apparently they cancelled that. I had a bunch of numbers for them to look at, but they’ve postponed that to a later time this month. I will...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Federal Ministers John Godfrey and Ethel Blondin-Andrew and territorial Minister Michael McLeod jointly announced new federal and territorial funding of $32 million for the municipal rural infrastructure fund and a further $90 million for highway projects, on January 18, 2005.

Mr. Speaker, my understanding of how this will work is that 55 percent of the fund is for non-tax-based communities and 45 percent is for tax-based communities. I applaud the federal and territorial governments on the recent announcement. However, we all know this funding is just the tip of the...
