Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to update Members on the implementation of new Community Government funding allocations that will come into effect in April 2025.
MACA distributes over $110 million in annual funding through the Community Government Funding Policies. While this funding was never intended to cover 100 percent of community funding costs, the funding helps community governments cover the costs of core programs and services like clean drinking water, local roads, recreation, and public safety.

Mr. Speaker, picture this: standing beneath the dancing aurora as the night sky comes alive; gliding across a pristine lake so still it mirrors the world above; or tracking the footsteps of generations before us along an ancient northern trail. This is the magic of the Northwest Territories; a land that captivates the soul and invites adventure-seekers from around the world. Tourism is not just an industry here; it is a gateway to our land, to our cultures, and to the people who call this place home.
