There is a stream of funding that does come to the NWT for homelessness. That responsibility is managed by the Minister of Health. There is only one designated community in the Northwest Territories that can access that money from the federal government. We are certainly interested to see any innovative ideas come forward. Our concern, of course, is how to be operating. Who operates it? How do we pay for it? That’s an area that has to be defined. We have a committee that works with and addresses and looks at issues with homelessness. We’d be glad to review that.
