Thank you, Mr. Speaker. That's one of the questions I have posed to the Housing Corporation and we're looking at the issue of giving seniors free units. They assured me at that time that seniors with high incomes or who want to sell their houses, because of the way the policy is and the core need income threshold, they would make themselves ineligible for public housing. Public housing is for low-income people, so low-income people come first. So far, in the Northwest Territories, there is a waiting list in every community for social housing and that waiting list is full of low-income people. The process, itself, will weed out high-income people. Thank you.
