Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today, Mr. Speaker, I would like to welcome my colleagues back to continue working on many issues we have in front of us. As you may recall, on December 2, 1997, I brought forward a concern about the housing situation in the Wha Ti. I would like to thank Mr. Arlooktoo for responding to this concern in such a timely matter. On December 16th I flew to Wha Ti with the staff members of the NWT Housing Corporation. We had scheduled with the council to start a process of communication to determine all concerns. This turned into a very good meeting and I feel the objectives were met. All members left feeling a sense of accomplishment and looking forward to solving the major problems that exist. Again, I would like to thank Mr. Arlooktoo and his staff for this very important initiative. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
