Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have a question with regard to recreational land leased to recreational organizations. I believe that the Yellowknife Golf Course, at least part of it is on Department of Transportation land or Commissioner’s land which is managed by the Department of Transportation. I wondered if the Minister could comment on whether or not there’s any possibility that because this is a Yellowknife recreational organization and I know that other recreational organizations within the city of Yellowknife that lease land from the city pay somewhat reduced lease fees, from what I can...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. To the Minister I guess I have to say that I appreciate that people can apply for these funds, but there’s no identified pot of money that is going specifically to communities. I guess I would encourage any community out there to apply to the Minister for some funds.

The last thing I want to say is that the situation that exists now with no specific process for communities to apply does not allow them to apply for a loan, and in many cases it’s the community needs a loan not necessarily a grant. So can I ask the Minister how a community who needs a loan for a project...

Thanks to the Minister. It’s good to hear that, that businesses are related to the airline industry. In terms of the land, is this government land? Is it city land? If it is city land, how are taxes dealt with? Thank you.

I thank the Minister for that information. I already know that information and I agree readily that we have earmarked a huge amount of money for energy projects for green projects, but there is no opportunity within that $60 million that has been identified for municipalities or for communities to apply and to access those funds. So I’d like to ask the Minister how any NWT community can access those funds for a particular high cost capital project that they might have. Thank you.

If I could get an answer from Mr. Neudorf, that would be good.

…question for the Minister of Finance at a later time. Thank you.

Thanks to the Minister. I guess my next question, then, is what are the intentions of the department? Will this be looked at some time in the future and if yes, when would that be? Thank you.

Thank you for that update. I would appreciate if we could receive a copy of that report. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. That’s all.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. A question here with regard to the funding for the Prelude Lake access road. There is an indication of some funding for that particular road for the residents and other people who live out there and/or use that space. There was a bit of an issue I think at one point sometime this past winter, a year ago now, that there were other roads which people thought should be maintained by the department. So I guess my question to the Minister is, this funding identified in the budget, does it only cover the Prelude Lake access road or does it cover some of the other roads that...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment.
