Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Last year, in the allocation of units across the Northwest Territories -- and, as Members know, the units are allocated according to need -- over 40 access units were not taken up in communities that had artificial caps on rent. There is no encouragement for people to get into their own homes if they make up to $120,000 a year or even $80,000 a year and pay $100 a month rent. So, what we are doing is encouraging people to get into their own homes to free up public housing for low-income people who actually need it. Thank you.
