Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to assure the Member that cabinet colleagues have no more influence over me than any other Member of this Assembly with regard to housing allocations. The housing allocation, while I am Minister, will be driven by the needs assessment that is going to be done by the community. That needs study is going to say how many homes a community needs, what kind, and all that will be weighed equally. Every community is going to be treated as equal. There is not going to be any favouritism to any Member or to any community. I would like to assure the Member of that.
According to the last housing needs survey, the need in Baker Lake was 107 units. In Coral Harbour the need was 43 units. So I guess that is the reason you have 12 and two being introduced into those communities for this year. I would also like to assure the Members that if, for some reason, a needs survey in the past was not done properly in your community, the new needs survey that will be done by the spring of this year will pick up that slack. If you have lost out over the last three years, you are going to gain immediately, because your needs are going to be greater than the other communities that received more. So that will equal out, and it will be equal and fair. Thank you.
