Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I should clarify the Housing Corporation's role in the area of seniors' housing is in the funding for the building of the facilities. There was a decision made by the Government of the NWT that we would put $3 million aside per year to build seniors' facilities. This is to try to deal with, in a small way, the real need we have across the Northwest Territories for low cost housing for seniors. There is a criterion that the Department of Health and Social Services follows, which I do not have in front of me. As I understand, there is a fairly long waiting list of communities waiting for these facilities. Thank you.
