Thank you, Mr. Chair. There is money currently in the budget to work with communities, money for Yellowknife as well as the small communities. If that money needs supplementing, we should look at that. I know that it is designed to be accessed on a case-by-case basis. There is also the issue of differentiating between homeless and hard to house. Plus, I agree and it is clear that Yellowknife is, by far and away, the largest magnet community we have in the Northwest Territories. People come, sometimes intend to stay here, make some personal choices, often not the right healthy ones and end up staying here in a way that they can’t afford and they can’t leave. I think we have to look at how we are going to do through interagency planning and in the communities and between communities to make sure that we can do the right things, and if repatriation back to home communities is the thing that should be done, then we should have a way to do that. Thank you.
