Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in regards to Fort Liard and the information that we have been looking at and where we know there is a need, we have been implementing housing programs by way of the EDAP programs and also the Independent Housing Program. There has been an increase in the number of housing units that have been built in Fort Liard. We are seeing more people apply for programs. I think that is one thing that we are trying to do, is get more of our field staff from Fort Simpson into the communities to make people aware that these programs are out there to make improvements to their houses, and also give them opportunities to either outright purchase a home through the EDAP program or through the Independent Housing Program for seniors. We saw an increase last year with regard to what has been spent. Last year, it was over $900,000. Again, it is almost $900,000 being spent in Fort Liard for housing.
