Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, we commit to that. Thank you.

Mr. Anderson will take that, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. It is the same issue, but I will let Mr. Martin expand on that.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I was a bit confused in all honesty because the Member asked for the information on the Homeless Assistance Fund, but the Homeless Assistance Fund is actually one-time funding that people can access for up to $3,000. I am thinking that the question should have been the Northern Pathways to Housing, which is about putting in homeless shelters. If that is the case, then we have the three communities that we are putting the homeless shelters into and that is Simpson, Aklavik, and Behchoko. Then we have $70,000 in operational funding that we are giving to those communities...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, we will provide that to the Members.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Actually, on page 356, you’ll see the capital amount of $3.4 million, and that is to purchase land, and it’s also for one sixunit in Fort Smith, $37.5 million on page 356. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I was tempted to ask the Member if he would like us to remove it. Instead of giving you that answer, I will ask Mr. Martin to speak to it.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. If the Salvation Army does not commit to working with us, then we will try to find another entity to provide those services. If we can’t find anyone, then I am sorry, we will have to bring it forward and look at alternatives. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. At this point, we have 106 units that are boarded up, ready for demolition throughout the communities. However, when I say demolition, we do try to provide them to community groups, people within the programs, to see if we can help them purchase them. The demolition is actually a last resort. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I’ll let the deputy minister answer that question.
