Each client is different in the regions. We talk about the one-stop shop with all the rental subsidies, the child care in different areas. Certainly some individuals have three or four accessible subsidies, so it’s convenient for them. So this is an area that we showed interest in to allow as much information as we can. Not only that, we are reaching out to the communities now. Since I met with Minister Michael McLeod of the Housing Corporation, how can we make a difference in the communities. Just updating on the clients and potential clients that we have out there, the detailed information on program delivery. The subsidies are available. Some community members are not fully aware of the subsidies that we offer. So I’ve instructed my department to be out there, visible, more visible in the communities. They are doing that. They’ve gone to Behchoko, as an example. They’ll be going to other regions as well and providing more detailed information. I think that’s required. We’re not just...They call us a welfare department. We provide the subsidy area and the money is there. The funding is available to offset the rental. So that is the area that we focus on with our department. Mahsi.
