Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This program targeted all sorts of individuals including attracting new residents of the Northwest Territories, especially those that are moving up here or would like to move up here to work in the diamond mines, for example. We were concerned, partly, about the fly-in/fly-out workers and we would rather that they stayed up here to work here, pay taxes here, et cetera. We also wanted to give individuals from the north who have moved to other communities a chance to buy homes in those other communities. Thank you.
