Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister responsible for the Housing Corporation. He recommended that the Housing Corporation Board be eliminated to save the government some money. However, the Housing Corporation Board of Directors was formed to protect the interest of the people, especially in the Eastern Arctic, which is very far from government headquarters, so that we would have an independent board and have delivery of housing programs more equitable everywhere. In order to eliminate the Housing Corporation Board, there will be a requirement for an amendment to the NWT Housing Corporation Act. Will he be putting an amendment forward to protect the small communities who will have to deal, once again, with a housing corporation which is very far from their communities?
