Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just wanted to ask whether Housing NWT is considering getting out of the business of leasing buildings, I mean, to other GNWT departments or other community-based organizations and whether, for example, this activity would be better housed under, like, Department of Infrastructure. I guess -- okay, I'll just leave that as my first question to the Minister. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. I'll go to the Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Dr. Kelly will provide an answer to that question. Thank you.

Thank you. I'll go to the president.

Thank you. I'll go to the Member from Yellowknife North.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So I don't -- under the expenditures related to this, I don't see anything listed by way of, like, the staff costs of managing these leases unless I'm missing something in the list there. But is the cost of staff time managing this included anywhere in this budget laid out on page 397? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. I'll go to the Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. President Kelly will provide information around the staff costs. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. I'll go to the president.

Thank you. I'll go back to the Member from Yellowknife North.

Okay. I mean, I'll just -- I'll just point out at this point, I understand that housing gets revenues from this that it can recycle into its other operations and that that is a benefit. But given that, you know, most of the funding for Housing NWT is coming from the GNWT, if it was determined that, like, leasing of commercial or non-residential space could be done more efficiently by another department that's doing a lot more of this and that somehow the revenues from that could still be guaranteed to go to Housing NWT, I would just urge that that could be something that might be a worthwhile measure given that I'm not certain how it fits with the mandate of Housing NWT to be managing, you know, commercial or non-residential leases. But I'll just -- I'll leave it there for now. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

You want to answer that?

You want to answer that then, Minister? Sorry, I'm ahead of myself here.

Yes, thank you. President Kelly will provide you some information, Mr. Chair. Thank you.

Okay, thank you. I'll go to the president.

Yeah, it's been a long day too. Thank you. I'll -- any further questions from the Yellowknife Member? Thank you. Any further questions from Members? Okay, moving on. Seeing no further questions, we will move on to the rent subsidy program starting on page 398. Are there any questions?

Seeing no further questions, we will move on to unilateral CMHC and other programs starting on page 400. Any questions? Seeing no further questions.

Moving on, we'll move on to the lease commitments on page 403. Are there any questions?

Seeing none. Committee, please return to the Housing Northwest Territories summary page on 383. Are there any further questions?

Nothing, I see nothing. No further questions. Does the committee agree that consideration of Housing Northwest Territories is now complete?

Okay, thank you, Minister, and thank you to the witnesses for appearing before us. Sergeant-at-Arms, please escort the witnesses from the chamber.
