Thank you, Mr. Chair. My question concerns the capital acquisition plan. I'm wondering if the Minister can tell us about the rationale that's applied to deciding which assets to acquire? Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Green. Minister Cochrane.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So how we do the capital acquisition is we consider the following items for priorities in our capital planning. So we look at the age of the asset, we focus on units that are over 40 years of age, we look at the condition rating, the operating performance and the community and LHO consultations within that. Then units are considered beyond economic repair if the cost to repair the asset is 70 per cent or more of the cost of replacement. At that time, it makes more sense to build a unit. Most units beyond economic repair are replaced with multi-configured units that we're looking at, such as the small multi-units that we've talked about in session today. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister. Ms. Green.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the Minister for that response. I'm wondering then whether there is any regional distribution of the money beyond the age of the asset and the other items that she spoke about? Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Green. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We look at the stock within the territories and we try to make sure that the stock is actually fairly evenly distributed throughout the communities that we have. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister. Ms. Green.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. One of the reasons I ask is because I think some of the highest core need for affordability and suitability is in the Tlicho Region. The amount of money that is going to be spent in the two neediest communities, Gameti and Whati, is minimal compared to other communities. I'm wondering if the Minister can explain why that is? Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Green. Minister Cochrane.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Actually, some of our smaller communities actually don't take as much revenues because the population is small and the amount of unit that we, Public Housing, has in there are small too, so we don't need as much financial resources within those communities to be able to address their needs. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister. Ms. Green.

I'll leave it at that. Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Green. Do we have any further comments or questions on this page? Does committee agree, we move on?

Moving on to page 359, active position summary. Comments or questions? No comments or questions from committee. We can move on to community housing services. We have deferred the total activity on 361 and we can discuss the information item on page 362. Comments or questions? Ms. Green.

Mr. Chair, I'm just trying to follow along. So when I was asking my questions, I thought we were on page 356, but weren't we in fact on page 358?

We were discussing page 356, that was the first page that we discussed. So now we've moved on to page 362. Do you have comments or questions on page 362? Ms. Green.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I noted in the Minister's opening remarks, she said she was going to implement community-based housing, property management services. I'm wondering if she could explain what that means? Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Green. Minister Cochrane.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, we're looking at expanding our LHO services to Fort Liard, Whati and Gameti. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister Cochrane. Ms. Green.

Nothing, thank you.

Nothing further from Ms. Green. Mr. Thompson.
