Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The homelessness small community fund was created because of the fact that there are not any established homeless shelters or programming in the communities so that we could accommodate such programming in small communities. In Yellowknife all of the established agencies like YWCA, Centre for Northern Families, Salvation Army, SideDoor, a slew of organizations, they apply for their funding whether it’s on a per bed basis, per programming, we fund even core funding, so to speak, to YWCA and many other agencies. Thank you.
