(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. There are different styles of houses now being constructed in the Northwest Territories, but the people in the communities are not given the opportunity to choose the kind of house that they would like to occupy. Some of the elderly people occupy two-storey houses with bedrooms upstairs and furnaces and storage areas on the lower level. I am especially concerned about the elderly who occupy those types of houses. If there was a house fire in a lower level they would be trapped upstairs, and the houses are not supplied with folding ladders which they should have in case of an emergency. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
