Yes, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the total budget for the department is $122 million. Out of that, the GNWT allocation is $38 million, or 36.8. So the majority of those dollars that we do operate under comes through our arrangement with CMHC and federal contributions for different program allocations. It is hinging, and I think that we're not the only department which is experiencing this uncertainty, because other arrangements were made before the election and Northern Strategy funding, we're looking at the Mackenzie social impact funding. A lot of funding dollars were announced previous, but again, it all depends on federal approval. In this case, I feel comfortable that we will be seeing those dollars on the basis that the bill has passed through the Legislature. It has been approved for $1.6 billion. The $1.6 billion has not been allocated. So until that allocation takes place, we're asking for $50 million over two years out of the $1.6 billion. Thank you.
