Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Housing Corporation looked into this issue. There is a move in southern Canada to put sprinkler systems in all detached units as a fire safety precaution and as part of building codes. We did not support that move because of the costs. Also, home owners expressed concern that this would drive the costs up approximately $6,000 to $10,000 a unit, depending on where the unit is. The majority of our units have self-contained water tanks and you would have to put in another water tank to supply the sprinkler system. It would become too expensive and possibly drive the costs of home ownership up for citizens in the Northwest Territories.
I will give the Member the information I have available to me and make it personally available to him. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
