Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This motion is to try to deal with and accommodate people. For example, in Fort Simpson over the last couple of years, there was a group of people who called themselves "the homeless people." They have had meetings, and according to the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation's criteria, anybody who is 19 years of age and older is entitled to their own unit to live. These people I am referring to had meetings in Simpson, and the public health nurse in Simpson did a survey and said there were about 92 of them in Simpson alone that needed a unit to stay in. These are people that are young adults and adults who are still living at home in overcrowded conditions. In some cases some of these people do not have their own units so they are going house to house, living in other people's places. They fall through the cracks because of the present criteria of the Housing Corporation.

They approached the previous Minister of Housing in Simpson on a number of occasions, and the former president also was approached in Simpson, and the request was that the HAP program is for a big house, three or four bedrooms in some cases, going for $100,000 a unit. We also have this special project which is only one or two units a year, but we need to take care of people who do not fit in either criteria, so the idea here is to try to give direction to the Housing Corporation to see if they could develop another type of program that would meet the needs of other Northerners that do not qualify for HAP, or for a special unit or public housing.
