Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In response to Mr. Gargan, we approximately meet the need of ten per cent of those people that are in need. We don't have sufficient funding to meet all the needs in every community. In your communities, for example, on the reserve it was set at three for the need. Then the survey was redone and it went to 12. We allocated two units to that reserve this past summer to try to address that need. That's normal. Without adequate funding from the federal government we could not address all the needs of the communities in the north. We are approximately 3,600 units behind. In Mr. Antoine's case, in Fort Liard, he has shown me the pictures of people living in tents, or plastic covers. I know the need is great in Liard. The need for Liard is approximately 33 units. Last year two units were allocated, I believe.
For Members' information, the needs survey was done by community members. It was actually done by the people in the community with the assistance of the Housing Corporation. I wanted to make sure it was done that way so the surveys have credibility. People were paid so much a household to go and do the surveys. I would be happy to give the Members a copy of that survey, a blank copy, for example, to show them how it's done. I know they even came to my house where I'm temporarily living in Yellowknife and did a survey of us. It was the most comprehensive survey ever done by the Housing Corporation. It was done by the people in the communities in their own languages, as well. We have to find out what the need is so the allocations are done fairly and according to need. That's what we did. Thank you.
