Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, part of the supplementing or subsidizing that the territorial government was doing to the tune of $1 million per year under this program came as a result of changes to the NIHB program, so people who would be on the ground here in the Northwest Territories overseeing this would be making approvals based on a change in the program as they knew it. The federal government would then disallow those expenditures and we were unable to recover them. The problem with the administration of it was that we were vulnerable and we would pay it up front and be required to recover it. If a disagreement arose over eligible costs, then we would be the ones who would be left holding it.

It is a contractual arrangement on a year-to-year basis, and we are hopeful that with the additional financial support for the administration of this program that we will be able to continue to deliver it. We will probably have a much better idea of that after one year of operation with the additional administrative support that Health Canada has agreed to provide. Thank you.
