Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister responsible for Housing. Mr. Speaker, I understand that core need is a key measurement the Housing Corporation uses to describe a household that has a housing problem, and that has a total income below the community core need income threshold.

According to the 2000 Housing Needs Survey, Aklavik had 33 percent of all households in core need. Fort McPherson is at 36 percent and Tsiigehtchic has 62 percent of the households described as being in core need.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the Minister, how do you consider actions to be taken for communities where 62 percent of all households are described as being in core need?
