Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I'm wondering if the housing corporation -- and, you know, people in the Northwest Territories understand that sometimes, you know, things can't be transported right away because of whether it's breakup or freeze-up or anything else that's going on, that's just a way of life in the Northwest Territories, but I'm wondering if we can remove kind of an administrative burden or something that might turn people off from a program and really take away the April 1st to October 31st deadline on applications and just look at applications as they come through the door, especially related to health and safety and mobility and accessibility? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

North Slave district office, there's an increase from 2021-2022 to 2023-2024. I just want to ask or know how many of these will be allocated to Tlicho region, these funds?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. From 2022-2023 to 2023-2024 Main Estimates, in the North Slave district there's a projected increase there of approximately $1.2 million, and that's explained by the additional investment in homeownership programming for the district. And that does include certainly the Tlicho region. And these are programs that are application-based. So an exact determination of the allocation to Tlicho would have to be determined following the application process. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Okay, thank you. And here on the next page on page 389, here it says North Slave, North Slave district office or North Slave active positions. And here you recognize Tlicho but there's nothing there. Why is that?
