Thank you, Madam Chair. In Rankin Inlet, the people are building their own homes through funding sources other than the Housing Corporation. There is only a small percentage of ACCESS homes in that area. A lot of the people in Rankin are buying their own materials and building their own homes, or bringing in trailers for those lots. So there is a need for these lots for those people who want to build their own homes and get out of the rent increase situation that is coming up. There is a shortage of lots in Rankin for people who are finding other ways of building homes. Thank you, Madam Chair.
