Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We appreciate there are needs identified in all of the communities. It is decided that this is an important area to address in Fort Smith because if we do lose some of our housing, we will have a very critical problem accommodating people. It's a very busy campus and it's a campus where most of the students are from out of town. It also deals with family housing in Fort Smith and it's important for us to ensure that we have the accommodation available for that particular campus. That's not to say that we don't recognize the need for housing in Inuvik and housing in Yellowknife, but we must address it in terms of what we feel is the priority. There is a need to address it in this fashion, Mr. Chairman.
