Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Is it known or is there a policy regulation that would permit using that 10 percent margin, plus or minus?

We provided a directive to the districts, advising them that this flexibility in the program is available to them.

Could the Minister state what the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation means where it says "provides assistance and advice to the self-government and land claims issues in relation to Housing Corporation interests and objectives." What are some of those interests and objectives of the Housing Corporation when dealing with self-government?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The interest, of course, to the NWT Housing Corporation is the units, the 2,200 public housing units. Of course, our objective is to stay in tune with the various self-government and land claim discussions where it pertains to a transfer of government assets to self-government organizations because of our ownership that is jointly owned with CMHC on these units. We just have to ensure that the interests of those units and the tenants in them are protected during any potential self-government transfer.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. One of the things that is listed through the self-government agreement is housing. Is there going to be a takeover of the housing programs and services in those areas where self-government agreements are signed, so they can be managed and administered at the regional level to carry on the service that you presently carry on?

Mr. Chairman, I think I see some examples of this occurring through the universal partnership agreements and PAAs, project authority agreements, as a pre-emption to self-government. I believe we will still have a central role to play, and that is to continue to disperse funds to those entities. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I do not believe he answered my question. Is there going to be a separate housing institution in the places where self-government agreements are finalized?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I believe that question will be answered in the context of the self-government agreements. At this point, it is difficult for us to determine, but we will endeavour to continue to deliver the same level of service until those self-government agreements conclude. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Does the department have any idea or vision of exactly where do these self-governments go? You stated earlier that you have to be involved and it adheres to what is going on at that table. So what is this government's position at those tables?
