Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The agreement was an extension to the Investment in Northern Housing Initiative that provided $1.8 million annually from the federal government, which is matched by the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation. So that gives us about $3.6 million in investment over the next five years.

We’ve used these funds in the past to help deal with some of the programs to help low- and modest-income homeownership repairs, and it doesn’t address the problem of declining federal funding to operate social housing.

We’re continuing to have discussions with our counterpart in Ottawa on this issue. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
