Thank you, Mr. Chair. In response to the Member’s question, we have made a good deal of progress, as the Minister stated, on getting these band governments to undertake the necessary steps to be able to own real property. Three of them have already made, have fulfilled that journey and can now…We flow the money to them to undertake their own projects. Some communities are almost there. Even those communities who are not able to own real property, at their request we are going to be undertaking projects for them such as water treatment plants in four or five of the band communities. It is not like we are telling them they can’t have the money and they can’t undertake any projects. It is just that they can’t or have not yet taken those steps and we are working with them so they can own real property. But even in the cases where they don’t, at their request, we will undertake projects for them so that they can have the infrastructure in the community. Thank you.
