Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question will be directed to the Minister responsible for the NWT Housing Corporation. Members will recall that earlier in the 3rd session, the Minister sponsored a bill which eliminated the board of directors for the Housing Corporation. Members will also recall that serious reservations were expressed about the loss of community input into housing policies. In fact, Mr. Speaker, the first time the bill was introduced in this House it was defeated at second read, but it got passed in December only because the Minister provided the standing committees and the rest of the House with his personal assurance that he would establish a special advisory committee on housing comprised of a working group of MLAs. Because of that, Members of this House passed the bill earlier on in December, Mr. Speaker. Since then, Mr. Speaker, Members have not heard a word from the Minister about his plan to establish this advisory committee. My question to the Minister today is how can he explain the delay in meeting his commitments to establish a framework for an advisory committee on housing?
