Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is directed to the Minister responsible for the NWT Housing Corporation. My question is tied indirectly to Mr. Todd's budget speech. Mr. Speaker, it's my understanding that the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation has advised the NWT Housing Corporation that effective immediately they consider domestic electricity and local housing organization administration expenses to be ineligible for cost sharing in their agreement on social housing in the NWT. Mr. Speaker, it's my understanding that the dollar amount that we're talking about here could be as much as $10 million. Can the Minister responsible for the NWT Housing Corporation confirm whether or not this is the case

and, if so, how he plans to deal with this situation? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
