Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Certainly, it is on a first-come first-served basis, but you still have to qualify under the criteria and there are some principles or goals that I had talked generally about and I will just repeat three of them. The program is targeted towards encouraging present NWT residents who lack the savings required to make a down payment to buy a home, also encouraging businesses to relocate their employees and their families to the north permanently by making housing more affordable to them and towards encouraging individual's families who might live elsewhere in the NWT to move to communities for employment or training opportunities. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
