Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I guess the authority does rest with the Minister of Finance, if that's the case, because it is staff housing. My question now will be asked of the Minister of Finance, the Minister responsible for the Housing Corporation, or whoever wants to answer it over there. The local housing authority in Iqaluit, Mr. Speaker, can hardly keep up with the demand now for housing. We have a severe shortage of housing in Iqaluit. How does the Minister responsible for the Housing Corporation expect to handle the flood, now, of long-term northern workers living in Iqaluit, some of them who've been there for 15 or 20 years, over the next couple of months after they've been evicted, to find housing when the local housing authority is under so much pressure to find housing? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
