Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Further to what my colleague, Mr. Patterson, was asking respecting land issues with the municipalities, I would like to ask the Minister a question. The Housing Corporation currently -- at least in my constituency -- has a lot of unused Housing Corporation lots where previously public housing units or northern rental units which had been written off, or had been demolished, or removed from those lots. It seems like the corporation is hoarding those lots and not giving them up for people applying under ACCESS programs or other individuals applying for land to build private houses. What it's done is created a strain on the land development areas in communities where there is a lot of development. I use Cambridge Bay for an example now because there are a lot of private homes going into that community. The Housing Corporation is applying on lots in the new development area instead of using the existing lots of which they already have title to. I would like to ask the Minister if he's aware of this issue and if he'll address it? Thank you.
