Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There is one aspect that I would like to explore briefly. It has some relationship with the agency we just concluded earlier, the Housing Corporation. This has to do with our lands administration. A lot of the discussion and the issues regarding lands are kind of a shared portfolio here, from my understanding, Mr. Chairman. There has been a lot of lost time that MACA and the Housing Corporation have to catch up on in order to straighten out our lands files and enable more housing to be built. Mr. Chairman, the question I wanted to ask is in terms of integrating and working with the newly staffed up land division of Housing Corporation. What are the arrangements or the protocols that MACA has with Housing Corporation to enable lands to be streamlined for the delivery of housing in our communities?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, we have a very good working arrangement with the Housing Corporation. We have a joint working group and things have been progressing very well. It was on short notice that the affordable housing initiative came forward. We were able to meet all land requirements for this past fiscal year. There was one community of Fort Good Hope where we had to put some investment in to create some new properties. This year, we did our analysis. We have identified all the lots that are required for this upcoming year, except for two communities. Behchoko and Lutselk'e have some issues regarding the availability and we are working with those two communities. We are providing some dollars for the community of Behchoko and we expect to be able to resolve those issues this summer. We are still working towards the plans for the next fiscal year following that. I think we had some issues, not on the availability of land but the availability of gravel for the community of Tuk and we have provided some assistance in that community also.
