Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The territorial government was approached by Public Works and Services Canada earlier in the year to see if we were interested in taking over the maintenance and administration of some 600 or so residential units and several other facilities that are owned by the Government of Canada. This is part of the nation wide program that the Public Works and Services Canada is into, which is the privatization of these services. In receiving the request from Public Works and Services Canada, I approached our own Cabinet and received permission to enter into negotiations that the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation could take over the maintenance and administration function.
