I'll just be brief, Madam Chair. Just with regard to the $285,000 for the emergency and transition shelters, it's good that Inuvik and Yellowknife are getting $135,000 between two. The $150,000 between the 31 other communities, that's roughly a little under $5,000 per community. Can the Minister let the public know, and these emergency and transition shelters know, that they will be entitled to roughly $5,000 in their community? It's not a hell of a lot of money for a transition shelter. I don't even think it will pay for power for a year for any centre, but I don't think it's sufficient, and I would have like to see more monies being allocated for this important initiative to help the homeless. Just a statement. Thank you.
