Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, as you know from the budget, we are approving the $38 million and that money will be expended on the delivery of the 185 units. Yes, there may be a delay in delivery because already the winter road access and whatnot. There will be delays. There's our mandate change that will possibly cause some delays. We have land issues we have to deal with. So there will be technical delays through the process. We are still committed to meet the goal where the motion passed in this House to deliver the housing needs to bring down our core needs by 2007. How we get there, yes, it will mean we do have to have resources. But this year we feel that we can deliver on the amount of money that is going to be approved here before the House and the other dollars we have internally.

With the question of the federal support, I feel pretty positive that it is there and that will be carried forward. The allocation we were looking at is that we were looking at over three years because the federal obligation under Bill C-48 has to be expended in two years. So we were going to look at putting our money at the back end of this delivery process in year three. So because of that, we'll just have to readjust our funding so we're funded at the front end, and use federal funding to pick it up at the back end. Thank you.
