Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, we are working with the AFN through Billy Erasmus who is the northern vice-chief for AFN in Ottawa. He has hired somebody to work with AFN and also us, as the Government of the Northwest Territories, to develop sort of a business plan and also a proposal that they are looking at going into a few aboriginal communities. I believe Colville Lake is one of them, Tsiigehtchic, Wrigley and a few other communities to see how communities feel about housing and also trying to find options for those communities to access these dollars. Yes, it may mention it's for reserves, but I think the push that is coming, especially from Billy and the other people through the AFN, is they want to have a Canadian program that includes rural and remote communities and not just reserves. So we are working with Billy and the AFN on this. We've been sharing information and working on their report and also using our information through our needs surveys to pull their report together. Thank you.
