Thank you. Minister of Housing, Mr. Morin.

Besides praying, if there is no funding from the federal government, we have attempted to address a portion of the needs. We would be dreaming in technicolour if any of us think that with the existing dollars we have, we can solve the social housing problem in the Northwest Territories. This problem is far too big. It's too huge, it's a crisis. If you think that this government, with the funds that it has, can solve it on its own, then we are dreaming in technicolour. We have to find a source of outside funds, or find some other ways to be funded because we just don't have the money. Even with the money we had last year, we're not even meeting ten per cent of the need.

If we had continued to get around $40 million to $47 million a year from the federal government, then we could have slowly closed the gap on social housing problems. But as it is now, the gap is getting bigger and it may mean we'll have to make some hard decisions. All 24 of us, not just myself or Cabinet. It's going to mean we'll have to make some hard decisions on how we spend our money. Thank you.

Thank you. Mr. Ng, supplementary.

I think we recognize that the sale of the GNWT's housing in this current year has gone toward providing some of the social housing for this year, and possibly for next year. Does the government or the Minister have any plans to sell off any other assets of this government to meet the social housing needs?

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Right now, the government is doing an inventory of the other assets we own. There are no immediate plans of myself, as Minister, to sell off anything to solve the housing crises. That would have to be a Cabinet decision, and a decision with recommendations made of this House. Thank you.

Thank you. Item 5, oral questions. The honourable Member for Deh Cho, Mr. Gargan.
