(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to mention that Harriet McKay, an elder from the Hay River Reserve passed away last week.
The Hay River reserve was first established in 1974. They have been requesting for public housing for many years. I have even written to the Government Leader and before that to the Ministers of Housing, Tom Butters and Nick Sibbeston. To date we have not seen any results. The people who most deserve public housing, the poor people, do not seem to get these houses. If these people who are in need of housing were to get these houses, incidents such as this would not happen. The elder I am speaking about still burned wood and had no electricity. The house which she passed away in was an old shack. If these conditions continue there are going to be more incidents such as this one on the Hay River reserve.
The senior citizens' home will be opening this Friday.
This is the request that I would like to put forth. Thank you.
