Thank you, Mr. Chair. If you look at page -- the page that we're referring to, it's not that the budget has decreased. The budget has been the same. The challenge is that we have been running the shelters as a government, as Housing NWT in Inuvik, and it's costing additional funds to do so. Governments are not the best suited all the time to be doing this type of work, and our strategy is to try to find others who are interested in taking over the work to manage those shelters in community where they know the folks and they're better suited for that action. So you'll be aware that in Hay River, we've been successful in that regard, and we're still working on that in Inuvik, trying to work with partners for them to take over, properly funded, to work and manage those facilities. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
