Thank you, Madam Speaker and honourable Members. As I was saying, an opportunity arose this summer. Due to the unexpected number of GNWT employees who were either moving out of staff housing or building their own units, some vacancies arose in the government's complement of staff housing units in Iqaluit. At the same time there were married students with families who had applied for Arctic College and were ready to pursue their careers in Arctic College, but could not do so for lack of housing.

I'm very pleased to report, thanks to the Honourable John Pollard, in his capacity as Minister of FMBS and with help from the Honourable Richard Nerysoo, 25 surplus units were dedicated to married students. This will allow that number of students to go to college after all.

Madam Speaker, I would like to say I recognize these achievements and accomplishments. There have been prompt responses to what I'd like to think were practical suggestions to make lives better for my constituents and I'm grateful for that. Thank you.
