Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the staff housing situation that is ongoing in the Northwest Territories was initially undertaken by FMBS and was to direct this government to move out of staff housing. What the Housing Corporation's place in this whole program is that we have become the agent in the sense of selling off some of those units in a transfer or else converting them to social housing, but as for staff housing, the Housing Corporation itself does not provide a program in that area. What we do provide, as I stated earlier, is an Expanded Down Payment Assistance Program that can help new residents coming to housing in the smaller communities but it is somewhat difficult. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
