Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to be able to clarify for the Minister and I will just so he might enlighten me, even from the lower position he sits, height wise, anyway. Mr. Speaker, in the community of Inuvik many homes and business and government buildings are hooked to the high temp heating system, which is a very expensive system to run. Now I asked the Minister responsible for Housing Corp the other day in the House, on the possibility of rates being raised by 60 percent. Now, he informed me that it was not because of prices of oil and so on, but because of the low amount of customers still on the system. That is having a negative impact in saying that they are going to have to raise the rates. So I am asking the Minister responsible for the sale of staff housing that, when they were looking at this initiative, were the negative implications of selling these homes looked at when it comes to the high temp system in Inuvik? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
