Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Minister responsible for the NWT Housing Corporation. Mr. Speaker, in the last little while we have heard several Members speak about the $10,000 Minimum Down Payment Assistance Program and we now know that it has cost approximately $4 million and that there were really no restrictions on who can get this assistance. Apparently, someone could have just stepped off the plane and saw a good deal and applied for the $10,000 and could have received it. It did not matter if they made half a million dollars a year or $100,000 a year, they would still be eligible. I have had concerns expressed by people, long term Northerners, who need assistance in repairing their houses and are not able to and apparently there are no means of doing this. What I would like to ask the Minister is, are there any programs in Yellowknife for repairing homes? Thank you.
