Mahsi cho, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, here in the Northwest Territories housing has always been a major problem. The quality of life starts in the home. The quality of living that you live is in your home environment. In communities outside of Yellowknife and Inuvik, that has been a problem that is consistent, but since Yellowknife and Inuvik are experiencing housing crunches, it has become a territorial problem now.

Now, I ask the Minister, how does the Minister ensure that the budget identified from the federal government is split evenly between regional centres and those communities that have been in need for years? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
