Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I do appreciate the supplies that may be available today, such as latches, windows, doors, door handles, et cetera. I am concerned when my constituents in Lutselk'e have to use their own boats and come over here, overload their boats and take them back to the community to fix up their homes or do complete renovations to their homes, Mr. Speaker. These people cannot afford to buy all at once, so they do it bit by bit.
What I am hoping to hear from the Minister is that he will commit to the small communities that do not have hardware stores that the housing authority will act as a contractor and supplier for major home renovations, and not just trinkets. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
