(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I stand, today, I am from Natilikmiot region. I ask on behalf of the people from my region, from my constituency, Taloyoak, Gjoa Haven, regarding housing. This is their main concern as well as ours. We all understand that we are concerned about our housing situation. Mr. Speaker, in Gjoa Haven, there are 13 houses without any sewage system, no running water. In Taloyoak, five houses without any sewage or water system, and they are occupied. There are some vacancies in those communities and they belong to the government staff. When you see those vacancies, and they are all fully supplied with sewage and water, and you see our people in the community that do not have any sewage system or water. Those people without any running water in their places, they have to do the upkeep on a daily basis for hygienic reasons and keep their clothes clean. They normally have to heat their water on the stove. Mr. Speaker, when it is time to ask questions, I will ask the Minister about the housing situation. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. (Translation ends)
