Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am pleased to advise the Member, now that we have our budget approved for the 2002-2003 fiscal year, we are having a number of new initiatives, one of which is to expand our existing Home Ownership Assistance Program and also introduce some new pilot projects under the Affordable Housing Rental Program, and also to take a very close look at some new seniors projects as well.

We are looking at discussing with a number of private market developers, as well as municipal and community leaders, and I am hoping the Members will also participate in this, to look at varied solutions to our ongoing housing problems throughout the Territories and specifically in Yellowknife, in this case. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
