Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I will continue to make arguments to the federal government, and I will continue to stress the point that you cannot compare the territories with the southern jurisdictions. We do not have a housing market. Our percentage of people eligible for social housing is well above the southern standard. The majority of our people are in social housing, so it is completely different. Our conditions are different, our living conditions are different, and I will continue to do that. We will use every method available including pictures, lobbying, native organizations, as well as ordinary Members of this Assembly. I will continue to work with the Members in the next few weeks to develop strategies, and see how we can convince the federal government of the injustice they are doing to the Northwest Territories, by cutting the federal funding for housing.
