Thank you, Mr. Martin. Mr. O'Reilly.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. So the reason why our contribution is less: the federal government is getting out of this; the project is finished, or projects are finished? I am just trying to understand the reduction a little bit better. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Mr. Martin.

Thank you, Mr. Martin. Mr. O'Reilly.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I’m try to be kind here, but just because the feds are backing out of funding our programs, it is not necessarily an excuse for us to pull the plug on them. I will just leave my comment at that.

I want to go down to a different line, rental housing in rural and remote locations. Last year, it was $783,000. This year, zero. Perhaps I can get an explanation of that one as well? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Mr. Williams.

Thank you, Mr. Williams. I will just remind the witnesses and the Members to indicate when you are finished. Maybe a "thank you" just so that the tech team knows to change the microphones. I appreciate that. Mr. O'Reilly.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the information about it being a pilot project. Does the corporation have any initial results of this pilot project? Is this something that we would look at continuing on our own? What happened there? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Mr. Williams.

Thank you, Mr. Williams. Mr. O'Reilly.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate that. The $783,000 sounds like a lot of money. There might have been other money that had been spread out over three years. Is there some kind of a report, a formal evaluation of the project and the money that was spent? Is that something that could be shared with the Regular MLAs? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. At this point, we know exactly what we spent on the program. We do know that there has been low uptake on the program. We have not done a formal evaluation, but we can pull together a report that we can actually share with the Members. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister. Mr. O'Reilly.

Thank you very much. I appreciate that commitment from the Minister, and that is all the questions I have. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Mr. Nadli.

Mahsi, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I wanted to talk about on page 359, in particular, the line items respecting the Homelessness Assistance Fund, and also the Small Community Homelessness Fund. It seems very prominent that there has been some efforts in terms of tackling the homelessness issues. The most visible, of course, the efforts have been made here in Yellowknife. In light of that, there was the recent report of people moving from the small communities into the regional centres and, of course, Yellowknife as well. In light of that, I wanted to understand what features of perhaps successful programs or projects that this government has seen in respect of those two funds? I know for a large part, perhaps, these two funds are targeting programs that are NGOs that do exist in small communities in terms of whether it is just purely, at this point, a program supplement. Mahsi.

Thank you, Mr. Nadli. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The monies that actually support homelessness are more than that. They are Housing First, the 150, then 125, 280 for Pathways, and 200 for Small Community Homelessness Fund. That is actually the operating and the provision of services that the funding is for. The rest is coming out of capital and other departments for the renovations. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister. Mr. Nadli.
