Mr. Chairman, I would just like to note for the record and for the Minister's attention that until its sudden dissolution by the Government of the Northwest Territories, the mayor and council of the town of Iqaluit were interested in taking over housing. Some steps had been made, with the Minister's help, in appointing the mayor and councillors to the Iqaluit housing authority.
This is something that had been pursued for a number of years by the town of Iqaluit. I would just like to make a comment, Mr. Chairman -- it's not really a question -- that once democracy is restored in Iqaluit -- which I hope will happen soon -- I'd like to see the corporation continue to purse this initiative with that community. I think they are committed to taking control over housing. It ties in with their already having the responsibility for social services. I think it would be another good community in which to show that devolution can be successful. Thank you.
