Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, one of the things that we are doing is working closer with the local housing authorities. We are working with the band corporations through universal partnership agreements to implement these programs closer to the communities so they don't have to apply out of Yellowknife, out of Inuvik, or out of the regional centres. They can go directly to the local housing authority and let them make the final decision at the community level, and also ensure that the resources are there so that those dollars are expended for the programs we deliver. We are working with communities to give them a better opportunity in the decision-making process and work closer to the communities in the way it is set up right now. Hopefully by streamlining the process and making it more accessible, it will improve the clients in communities access to these programs. I believe that is one of the problems we are facing now, but we are working on improving it.
