I’m struggling to follow the line of questioning. The Member is raising the issue of income support. I understood that to mean programs. I’m assuming now with this new question that the ’97 agreement referenced income levels versus programs and low-cost housing to those people who are seniors or in need of housing and are having difficulties because of their income. That is still the intention. We have, of course, broadened our scope to address the many different needs across the Territories and we now include families that are fairly high on the income scale. We do use thresholds and income means assessments, but we do a lot more than the initial agreement intended us to do. We have other agreements, though, I have to point out, that are in place, new agreements that allow us to invest in other areas. So there is quite a broad area that we are responsible for now.
