Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I do not see the land issue as being in the NWT Housing Corporation's mandate other than we can purchase land for home development, providing it is affordable. That is why we are trying to guide the discussion through Municipal and Community Affairs. We work in collaboration with that department to identify methods by which we could put housing into the city for our clients. I reference a small portion of our mandate which states that the NWT Housing Corporation recognizes its role in providing affordable social rental housing and home-ownership options while assisting with the development of private housing markets. So that, Mr. Chairman, exemplifies what our mandate is and the direction that we need to go. Thank you.
