Thank you, Mr. Chair. If the Members would like, we can actually put together a document that shows the costing to address every single core need within the Territories. We can provide that.
The reality, though, is that the argument that we give for the tri-territories is a business case based on the higher cost of living within the Territories, and so we advocate again, not on each territory-- on what each territory would need, we just advocate based on that we have the highest core needs amongst the three Territories in all of Canada. The federal transfer payments currently for housing cannot be based on a population base; that it has to be base plus funding. Contrary to what I said, I mean, the tri-territorial business case that we just provided to the federal government resulted in us getting $35 million. So actually advocating as three territories without costing and saying that we have huge needs has worked in that we've never gotten $35 million and now we've gotten that, and the federal government has recognized that we have to have a northern strategy. So they're listening just on the basis of us saying that we have higher cost of living; that we have a huge Aboriginal population; that we have huge needs and that's the business case we provided and to date it's working. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
