Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to answer the first part of the Member's question regarding Yellowknife. Just to provide a brief background; the shelter was originally set up to assist long-term homeless people in Yellowknife. Unfortunately, the problem that was created is the original tenants were removed by other transient members.
I would like to talk a bit about some of the concerns. One I took a great deal of interest in was the statement made by Arlene Hache, which expressed some concerns about the homeless. She infers in her article that supports what we believe in, which is that the homeless shelter was being used for other purposes.
Secondly, we have made every attempt to address the issue of the homeless across the Northwest Territories by working with various Members of the House here and in our travels, to determine what those needs are. I am sure by May 15, 2000, we will be able to answer the majority of the questions and address the majority of the problems. Thank you.
