That is how many people are in need. For example, 44 people in need in Fort Providence; at the Hay River Reserve, it was 3 people; in Kakisa, it was two people. That was reflected on the needs survey. The only change that was ever done to the needs survey was on the Hay River Reserve where there was concern about how it was carried out. So the Housing Corporation went and redid it with the people there and it did kick their need up a bit.

Thank you, Mr. Morin. Does that answer your question, Mr. Gargan?

Mr. Chairman, I don't know how you can assess the needs based on what you have...You have 200 houses according to this survey. There are 200 people living in houses, of which 77 have housing problems and you have 44 in core need. I think the 44 would be the ones who would determine the allocation, right?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The number 44 is the number we've been working with. That's how the allocation would be given out; by the number 44. If there are 77 people with housing problems, maybe some of those people are capable of taking care of some of the minor problems they have themselves. I don't know.

I don't have the survey that was done of the reserve. I would like to ask the Minister if he has the most up-to-date survey that was conducted, other than this one.

Mr. Chairman, in the South Slave areas where there are about 15 communities involved with housing, I would like to ask whether or not the allocations made to all the communities is based on per capita, or is it still based on assessment.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The allocations throughout the Northwest Territories, including the South Slave region, are based on the 1992 needs survey.

In the summer of this year, Mr. Chairman, there was an allocation supposed to go to Kakisa. I would like to ask the Minister, the allocation for Kakisa has been carried over to this year, right? Last year there was an allocation for Kakisa. The allocation didn't go to Kakisa this year. I think it went to a family at the West Point Dene Band. I am wondering if it is going to be replaced this year.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The allocation that was to go to Kakisa was an alternate unit. It was moved

to West Point. Kakisa won't lose that unit; it was borrowed. They will get it back next year.

I have another question, Mr. Chairman. I would like to ask the Minister how the allocation for Providence, which was four in May, was reduced to three in the final allocation.

I will have to get that information to the Member. All I have on my books here is an allocation of three.

Well, that includes a reduction in Fort Liard too. In May it had three, and it went down to two. I thought the allocation was based on need for the Deh Cho. For the South Slave area, there is a total of 61 units, but I guess there have been changes made. I am wondering how that was done.
