Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have made a commitment to the Member for Yellowknife South to work together with the Member for Iqaluit to try to find some sort of accommodation that is better than what they are living in now. I will work with him. I would like to make it clear to the two Members that we, as a government, have a responsibility to our public to try to house them properly, but the public also has a responsibility to treat those units properly and to pay their rent in a timely fashion. Excessive tenant damage is not acceptable. If your rent is set according to what you can afford to pay, then it should be paid. That would have alleviated this problem to begin with. I will look into the matter and try to address the issue as soon as possible. Thank you.
