Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of the NWT Housing Corporation, Mr. Goo Arlooktoo. There is a concern, Mr. Speaker, that has come up over the last few weeks with people who have arrears in one community, and then move to another community and have no housing available. Now when they apply for their housing, they cannot get a house because they might have had arrears in the previous community, and thus they have no place to live, and in some cases, they have had to live in tents or shacks while waiting for proper housing. Mr. Speaker, my question is to the Minister of housing, on this policy is there any leeway in this policy on arrears, what happens when a family has arrears, it does not have a house in January, living in a tent? Maybe, the Minister could tell us the policy and explain the parameters of said policy. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
