Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We are quite flexible in how we deliver our programs, and we do consultation with the communities. Block funding arrangements are being revised this year for H.A.P. packages. The difference is that public units, are public units and H.A.P. are homeownership, so there is a certain amount of sweat equity needed in those units.
We will be looking at how we are building those units next year. With our training packages, we are going to have a comprehensive training package developed by the Housing Corporation, D.P.W. and Education, so that some of that could possibly be tapped into H.A.P. buildings.
We still must never take away from the homeowner being responsible for a certain amount of the building; a certain amount of the sweat equity; or a certain amount of cash equity into that building. I am not a strong believer in just giving something away for nothing. People are going to work or pay for part of their buildings.
Sole source contracting, Mr. Gargan, I have a difficulty with that because if I was to do that, for example, if you have five units in your community, and let us say, there was $1 million to build, and I sole sourced it, then N.W.T. picks up 100 percent of that tab. If I go tender, then C.M.H.C. will split it 50-50 or 75-25; 75 percent C.M.H.C. monies, 25 percent ours. They do not allow sole source contracts under C.M.H.C. rules, so in order to tap into C.M.H.C. money we have to go to public tender. We also have the project management which is what you are doing in your riding on their warehouse. That is similar to a sole source contract, but it is where the Housing Corporation jointly manages the project with the Community Development Corporation or the band or whoever they are working with to ensure that everything stays in the community.
