Mr. Speaker, I stand corrected. The last housing needs survey across the Territories was in 1992. Since then, there has been numerous correspondence and meetings between previous housing Ministers of the NWT and the federal government. 1, myself, have spoken to the federal minister of CMHC and I've written several letters. We are keeping the pressure on the federal government for additional housing. We make the argument that our core need of about 3,500 in the NWT houses in the NWT is not acceptable. The problem is that they are in the same financial situation as most other governments: they have limited funding. However, we are keeping the pressure on and the efforts by MLAs, including the Member raising these issues, is appreciated and it does help to raise the profile. Thank you.
