I MOVE that this committee strongly recommends the Minister's continued cooperation with other Canadian jurisdictions that were also adversely affected by the federal government's withdrawal from the provision of the public housing funding, to make sure that the Northwest Territories receives its fair share of any restored funding.

I MOVE that this committee recommends that the Minister continue to lobby his federal counterparts to ensure that the Northwest Territories receives a fair share of housing funding that targets aboriginal funding, such as the on-reserve housing program. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In regard to grants and contributions, there has been almost a $3.5 million decrease from the previous years. Can the Minister explain where that $3.5 million cut took place?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In 1999-2000, the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation returned $4.5 million back to the Government of the Northwest Territories and we, as part of that process, received supplementary estimate for $3.6 million for capital projects, $2.5 million for the MDAT program and IHP program and some other capital programs. We received funding to do some projects there. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In regard to the money that was paid on the Downpayment Assistant Program, do you have a breakdown of where those expenditures took place? Where did the majority of that budget go, to which communities?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yes, the majority of that funding did go to the larger centres. It was available in all communities, but the take up was significantly higher in Yellowknife and the other larger centres. Thank you.
