Thank you, Mr. Chair. We have been doing a lot of work with MACA, especially in the area of transferring over what is now Commissioner's land in the municipalities where the NWT Housing Corporation has buildings or houses. We are in the process of transferring the title or the leases over to them. There is roughly close to 400 leases that we are working on transferring over and then there is another 269 parcels where they have houses located and we have to establish tenure. There is a lot of work that we are doing. We also have a land development program. It has a small budget, a budget that is oversubscribed on an annual basis. We have $300,000 that we allocate to the communities to help them offset some of their costs. The community governments have the responsibility to develop properties in the communities to deal with some of these land issues. We do have a budget that we try to assist them with. But our budget is mostly geared towards the creation of subdivisions towards drainage studies, surveys, and those types of things. We expect the developer of the property to pay for the driveway, power pole, the gravel pad and everything that is required to put a house on there. That includes Housing. Housing is a housing developer. We expect them to pay for those costs.
Whether we would take over the land responsibilities of the Housing Corporation, I guess if they were willing to transfer their money over to us for us to administer, we
would certainly consider it, but it is difficult to deal with the land issues that we have in front of us as it is. We have a very limited budget to help the communities with.
