Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I had question in relation to the money allocated towards Rankin Inlet. I was wondering whether or not the department has an idea how many of these developed lots are being utilized by the community. How many have been bought by the people and how many are being obtained by the commercial businesses in this community, at this point in time?

Thank you, Madam Chair. I don't have the specifics. I will ask Mr. Christensen to provide that information. I do know that the majority of the lots in that area are used by local people who own their own homes. There are ACCESS homes and apartment buildings. To my knowledge, there are really no commercial buildings. They are mostly all local people.

Christensen
Thank you, Madam Chair. I don't have the specific breakdown here but consistent with the advice the Minister just gave, it is predominantly a residential subdivision with some institutional lots and there may be a small number of commercial lots. They are very small in terms of the total numbers of the lots.
