Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the main component of the new mandate change is getting away from focusing on social housing and social issues, and getting into property management and expanding the properties that we do have. We want to find ways of partnering with different groups, individuals, and corporations, to try to leverage more funding from federal program dollars, CMHC. One of the main components we are working on is to ensure that we do have resources to manage. Because we are running this as a business, we have to be more proactive. I think the Member's concerns are valid. Through presentations to yourselves as committee members with regard to our mandate change, hopefully with the input of the Members, we can see where we are going. One of the biggest challenges we are facing across the Northwest Territories is trying to find land to do property development. That's an area that's crucial to look at. Again, we are taking into consideration how we are going forward, and with the input of the Members of this House, we have to move in a different direction with the mandate change. We are open to that. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
