Thank you, Madam Chair. Just in regard to the seniors repair programs and the emergency repair programs, like the Member mentioned, we do have a limit. It is all based on income. So, basically, people with low income don't have to pay. People who have a higher income may have to pay a portion of it. It works out to $30,000 for emergency repairs and then in regard to the senior repair programs, it's based on applications. Again, that is the way that works. But also, the Member touched on the employees and the social transfer. We have been holding workshops over the last couple of months with our maintenance people, with our LHO staff, and it is working with them and we are making them aware that the transition is not going to happen overnight. It is going to happen over the next year. At the end, they will play a key role in the continuing work that has to go on in regard to collections and counselling. I think their jobs will be secure in that area.
We are working with the Department of Education to ensure that they also have to be involved in this transitional process. It is not just simply between the Housing Corporation and Education, because they play a key role in delivering.
The question you raised in regard to the social decline and social funding over the next couple of years is 2038, that decline is right across Canada. It is not only here in the North. Every jurisdiction across Canada has seen that. But one thing we are working on is that we are developing a northern housing strategy to take to the federal government and meeting with the Housing Ministers from across Canada to develop a new housing program for the next decade because the ones that we have now are almost at their five-year lifespan. That is the commitment we got from the federal Minister and also the provincial ministers that we are going to start developing new housing programs for the future. Through our northern housing strategy, that is where we hope to really have an impact on developing a made-in-the-north housing strategy that meets our needs. That is the way we are hoping to head off the declining $30 million that is there in regard to social funding. Thank you.
