Those are discussions we’ve had at the senior level. We want to start off with maybe a pilot project as far as the arrears go and see how that works and then continue to develop the next part of it. I think, in some cases, there are places where they do take people that are living in public housing and they take a portion of what they earn, maybe 50 percent, put that towards the arrears and then they’re paid a small fee. There may have been cases like that in the past, but in the overall picture as far as the overall NWT Housing Corporation and all our communities, it’s something we need to look at. But the one we want to start off is arrears and see how that’s working and see if there’s more merit in trying to advance the next part of it forward. But it is on the radar. I can let the Member know that, and it’s one that we are discussing, as well as a lot of the issues that the Members have brought to our attention in the past couple of years. Thank you.
