Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The committee just recommended, in a previous motion, to put back a few million dollars into a budget that we know has already been looked at closely to try to hit some targets. We’re coming forward, as a government, trying to keep our fiscal affairs in order, not to have our debt get too far out ahead of us.

We’re in this process together. It’s easy to make the motions to recommend we put stuff back. Yesterday in this House, or when we did Justice, there was a recommendation to keep vacant positions; don’t touch staff. We’ve been given a number of encouragements.

This program, this recommendation, speaks to housing. If it’s primary facilities or primary houses, we will look at assisting people. Our core direction is to provide core housing and affordable housing to those in need. We have a huge backlog of people who don’t even have houses, because we don’t

have enough capacity. If there is a need for a primary residence, then this would be considered. But if it’s for a secondary residence, no matter how good and positive the intent, we just don’t have the money. Once again, I appreciate the recommendation and the intent of the recommendation, but clearly, we’re in a position of having to make choices, and a primary residence for our northern people is the first consideration, especially when we don’t have enough to go around. Thank you.
