Thank you, Madam Chair. Just to add to what the Minister has said there, the renewal strategy of the corporation that was released in the fall places a specific emphasis on collaborating with Indigenous governments and also addressing that perception that in the past it might have looked like we were in competition with Indigenous governments, particularly for federal funding. It's also a matter that we've raised with our federal partners so that they design their programs in a way that doesn't pit NWT governments against each other.
Another key development from June of last year was the inaugural meeting of the Council of Leaders and the striking of Council of Leaders housing working group. There, we're able to talk about our policies and programming, and we've initiated that step of reviewing those policies and programming with the Council of Leaders working group. So they have direct input on whether we -- whether our programs are a good fit with what their goals are.
And finally, I'd just like to make the point that this government has made a point of supporting direct funding to Indigenous governments. It's not something that certainly the Housing Corporation stands in the way of. We know that we're not -- we're not the only game in town and that Indigenous governments are well positioned to support their own interests. Thank you, Madam Chair.
