Thank you, Mr. Chair. Earlier today I asked for some clarification about the energy retrofit program for public housing, and I think what I got out of that was a number of units, but I am not clear what it means to retrofit these homes to make them more energy efficient. What is the criteria for the energy efficiency, and which of the homes will be retrofitted? Thank you.

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, my understanding of the retrofit of homes is to make them a bit more energy efficient. If that means replacing windows and insulation, putting some better heating systems in, that would be -- as far as the number of homes, I apologize. I don't have that level of detail as to what homes they are, and where they are located, but it is to support energy performance upgrades for 128 existing housing units in the Northwest Territories, and the conversion of 43 oil-fired heating systems in Yellowknife to biomass.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, my quick math says that there is about $10,000 available per home. I can tell you that, here in Yellowknife, $10,000 would not give you new insulation, doors, and windows. You could pick one, and you might get that, but you certainly wouldn't get all of it. I am just concerned that this is not doing what it says it is going to do, and so any additional detail the Minister can round up would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I think the Member's point spoke very well to the previous Member's point when they were speaking about infrastructure, and the $304,000 for the new kitchen at the park is the cost of doing business in Yellowknife. I take the Member's point, and I will commit to providing more information, and we will check with the NWT Housing Corporation. They should have it broken down. I think that's in addition to all the other investments that they are making in energy retrofits across the Northwest Territories. I will commit to the Member that I will work with the Housing Corporation to provide a bit more detail as to locations, scope of work, and we'll share it with the Member. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
