Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Is there any way that they can illustrate the positions that have been increased to deliver the public housing funding through income security in regards to these increases? Where are those positions?

We do have two regional positions as part of the next steps in Income Security Reform Initiative. One is in the Sahtu and one is in the Deh Cho. That is what we were proposing right at this point. Mahsi.

I can certainly provide that information. I don’t have it with me right now, because it does vary in these positions. We can certainly clarify that. Mahsi.

The Western Arctic Leadership Program is a residential facility. There are students from across the different parts of the North from different communities who apply to attend the facility and attend the high school in Fort Smith. There is a society that has been formed that screens the applications and accepts the students into the facility from various communities across the North. Thank you.
