Thank you, Mr. Chair. When I first started in the Legislative Assembly a couple of years ago, housing was identified as, if not one of the major needs in the territories, if not the number one need. I am taking a moment to address the federal government because I am completing my mandate commitment to lobby for northern housing.

How do I address constituents? Housing was a number one need, and therefore when I first started, I was reading every single e-mail that came through, not realizing that I was getting hundreds of e-mails every week. In all honesty, I stopped reading the initial e-mails, and I started transferring them to the departments, and I still read every single e-mail that comes back with the reply from the departments, and I look at the initial questions to make sure that they are addressing them properly. We do try to be timely, although in all honesty, sometimes we are late. Sometimes, you will get an e-mail from my office that says, "We need more time." That might be that the question is very difficult, but a more higher probability is that I did not like the reply, so I have sent it back to get back to them, and give me something that I can actually stand behind and agree that that is the right philosophy. Yes, sometimes, we are late. We get a lot of e-mails, but I make a point of reviewing every single e-mail, and making sure that they answer the questions to the satisfaction of where I want the departments to go as a leader. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
