Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This is an issue I have discussed with the Housing Corporation and other government departments. We now are starting to realize the complexity and maybe the potential high cost in having to deal with the problem and also the seriousness. The Member, in a committee meeting a couple of weeks ago, told us about an incident on August 19th where a home actually toppled over because of the pilings being eroded so badly and consequently, the town, the housing authority and the Housing Corporation, after a survey, found that it was quite widespread and fortunately, fairly unique to the Town of Inuvik.

We have started several actions. One is we have set aside $450,000 that would be provided to the Inuvik Housing Authority to start developing a plan to start making repairs to the problem. There are three other avenues available that we are looking at. One is through EDAP, which has a section in it that can be used to repair homes. Another one is our emergency repair program and finally, the third one which we will need the support and assistance of the Town of Inuvik and the housing authority and the MLA, is approaching the federal government to see if there is a way of perhaps obtaining some federal disaster relief or some kind of program like that. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
