Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, is for the Minister of the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation. Earlier this year, I spoke about the shortage of social housing in Iqaluit. We are short approximately 70 housing units. This government seems devoid of a social housing plan, buying new housing. My question then is to the Minister. It is about time we put away the rhetoric and stopped blaming the federal government for not funding new social housing construction. Mr. Speaker, my question to the Minister is, what plan other than using excess staff housing that was announced yesterday in the budget, does the government have to alleviate desperate need for basic proper shelter for the people of the Northwest Territories?
