Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The land reform initiative is about recovering capital costs spent by the GNWT. Community governments are providing improvements to the land to create developed lots. Pricing is not for land, but capital improvements. These capital costs include planning and engineering design, road construction, land fill, legal surveys, power lines and pipes, water and sewer lines. This government can no longer subsidize costs for everyone. New pricing strategies will be based on recovering these costs and subsidies will be available for those in need. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
