Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Good morning. Mr. Speaker, the mental and physical health of a community is important. Since October of 1997, the community of Broughton Island has been without the services of a social worker. Mr. Speaker, there are social workers available, but the high cost of housing in Broughton Island deters them from coming. When the rent is almost as much as your salary, there is little reason to come. Housing in smaller, remote communities need to be more affordable. They need to be more affordable to attract essential staff to our communities. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
