Mr. Chairman, we do, indeed, follow the core need assessment to allocate our budget. It is a measurement that allows us to see where the actual needs are in the community and in what areas. It is difficult to tie dollars for repair or for homeownership based on percentages related to core need. For example, 76 percent of Colville has demonstrated they are in core need, but that is 25 families. Overall, we have 2,300 units

that have been identified as core need and 240 of them are in the Sahtu, so that is only 10 percent.

Mr. Chairman, we try to invest in all the different areas that need to be addressed. We use this measurement as a guide for us to try to distribute it fairly. The need is high across the North. We recognize that. We are in a situation where we have more dollars than we have had historically. We will try to make the best use of that. Thank you.
