Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, part of the review will result in a new land pricing policy which would be based on the full recovery of development costs starting this year. In conjunction with the NWT Housing Corporation, we have also developed a program to address affordability issues for home owners and people that need to build on land. We have developed a subsidy program there. We have also developed a plan for user pay and cost recovery of land administration services. Part and parcel of this approach has been the development of a training program with the colleges for community land administration and people who have trained and who are working for municipal governments to administer land. The idea here is to transfer the control of municipal lands to municipal governments and for the GNWT to get out of the business of being the landlord in the community. Thank you.
