Thank you, Madam Chair. We currently fund five shelters: one in Fort Smith, one in Hay River, one in Inuvik, one in Tuktoyaktuk, and one in Yellowknife. As well, we have access to the homeless money that we've been getting on a winter-by-winter basis that allows us some capacity to give additional bids; Salvation Army, as well as Turning Point. We've been working to assist SideDoor in Yellowknife for the youth to have accommodation issues over the night. The homelessness funding, as well, allows smaller communities to be able to access the money on a case-by-case basis for circumstances where people are without any warm place to stay over the course of the winter on an emergency basis. Those are the facilities that we currently have funding for. Thank you.
