Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My honourable colleague, always vigilant with his constituency in Inuvik. Of course, this is a very reasonable question. Mr. Speaker, I did receive a letter from my colleague on the issue. What we are doing is looking at options that may be able to assist the community of Inuvik with this difficult, fiscal problem. There is less utilization of that utilidor and, of course, the associated power plus system. I do not have an answer today in terms of where we are going to go on this. I want to assure my colleague that we are looking at alternatives, and are keenly interested in ensuring that affordability of housing, and the ability for people to pay the associated costs of the operation of the houses et cetera, is of fundamental importance to us. At the same, trying to find alternatives for the householders. Mr. Speaker, we are looking at alternatives. I do not have the answer today, but we will get there soon. We will work it in conjunction with my honourable colleague who has raised this important issue with me. Thank you.
