Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I believe the Minister of Housing is aware of the unfortunate situation of two families living on the beach in Iqaluit. I know efforts were made last year to provide them with alternative housing through the Minister's good offices and those of the Minister of Social Services but, unfortunately, those arrangements collapsed late this summer and they were forced to move back on to the beach.

The Minister is aware that I provided him some suggestions on how to deal with that problem. I wonder if he could inform the House of the current status of those two families on the beach? Thank you.
