Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I've raised this issue with CMHC many times. I've fought this issue as well as fighting the other issue about getting our funding reinstated for capital projects in the Northwest Territories, CMHC's share. The bottom line is, on January 1, 1994, CMHC would have taken back an additional $5.3 million from us. I don't have any control over that. I've tried my best to convince them. CMHC doesn't agree with the principle of subsidizing high income tenants in public housing. They will not subsidize high income tenants, they've said so in no uncertain terms. I managed to get an extension until July 1 of this summer, 1994. I managed to get that extension, so I have achieved a bit to save us some money. Thank you.
