Madam Speaker, as a result of the issues in the Kitikmeot region, both myself and the honourable Minister responsible for Housing have met along with our officials to see what could be done in the short term and in the long term in addressing the issue of the facility at Gjoa Haven, as well as Cambridge Bay and Coppermine. We're trying to find out just how we can accomplish that. There will also be a meeting with the community of Gjoa Haven to further identify just exactly what the needs are in terms of the kind of housing requirements that community has. So once we've addressed that, we'll try to make every effort to have a positive response to the needs, particularly in Gjoa Haven, then addressing Coppermine and Cambridge subsequently. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
