Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a number of questions for the Minister of the NWT Housing Corporation, with respect to Plan 2000: A Positive Solution To The Public Housing Shortage. Mr. Speaker, in Mr. Arlooktoo's remarks made yesterday in the House, he indicated that Plan 2000 will provide a boost to the northern and local construction industries by creating up to 1000 additional seasonal construction supply and manufacturing jobs per year. Mr. Speaker, I know it is no secret to anyone that I represent a community which has a strong base in the supply, manufacture, and construction industry. I want to know what there is built into this program, what mechanism there is to ensure that we do not only realize the social benefit of more housing and more adequate housing, we also realize the economic benefit of all of the spin off we can possibly gain in terms of economic growth from this project. Thank you.
