Thank you, Mr. Speaker. If I recall correctly, all the repair programs put together in the Northwest Territories would be less than $1 million and they all also have means tests, so, that if you make over a certain amount of money you are not eligible for that repair program. Yet, we have been passing out $10,000 bills to anybody who asks for it to help them purchase a home and we did not care how much money they made. I would like to ask the Minister if he would consider initiating a repair program for long-term Northerners and with, at least, a $4 million budget and how soon he could do that? Thank you.
