Thank you, Madam Chair. I would like to welcome the Minister and his staff here to the proceedings this afternoon. In the Minister's opening remarks for the Housing Corporation, he talked of some money being spent on constructing 168 dwellings in communities across the Northwest Territories in 2007-2008. The figure of $119 million would be spent on housing and a total of $32 million will be spent to construct 168 dwellings. The question I have, Madam Chair, is last year when the affordable housing strategy was rolled out, to my knowledge it was 300 units. If the Minister could perhaps make those numbers right, it was 300 last year and if this is 168 now, did we not get some funding that we were supposed to get or when will the other 132 dwellings be constructed?
