Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We have already met with Minister Irwin, the Minister responsible for Indian Affairs, when he was in Yellowknife. We fully briefed him on the housing situation in the Northwest Territories. We told him, and we showed him that in southern Canada, the funding for on-reserve housing for aboriginal people has not changed over the past few years. In the Northwest Territories, it's been continuing to fall off to the point where finally, we don't have any money for next year. The Minister responded, when he met with us in Cabinet, that he would go to bat for the Northwest Territories in the attempt to get reinstatement of federal funding of whatever kind to assist us.
