Thank you, Madam Chair. Just here in Yellowknife alone, in the budget for this year we're earmarking $5.8 million. Again, there are other program dollars that are allocated here in Yellowknife that could be moved around. I think, like you say, when you have a major intake or you exceed that $5.8 million, if there are additional dollars out there for IHP or a program that hasn't been allocated, that you can move that in-house in order to meet the demand. If the demand is in EDAP or IHP, you have the flexibility to move these program dollars. Again, Yellowknife, this year alone, our portion is $5.8 million. I think people are applying. Like I mentioned, we've already helped 571 people. I think this program is working, but the key is that it gives us the opportunity to assist people with their down payment, but leverage bank financing. I think you can't lose on that. Again, we are taking applications for the next fiscal year with regard to where we're going, but it's based on the budget being approved here in the House. I believe we realize there's a major increase in the number of applications we get that we will build that into next year's budget to ensure we have more money for the EDAP program. Again, like I mentioned, there is $5.8 million for the EDAP here in Yellowknife.
