Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am glad that the Minister had a good day in the House yesterday. It seems like we are picking on him today. As I indicated in my Member's statement, there has been a demonstrated need in Hay River for the Housing Corporation's independent housing program, or the IHP for short. The delivery of the IHP program in Hay River would go a long way in eliminating the demand for public housing and to create options for lower income households that currently fall between the cracks. I am totally in support of this program being implemented in Hay River and it would not create any market disruption, Mr. Speaker. Would the Minister please indicate to this House why the IHP program, that would allow lower income families to purchase or build modest homes, is offered in quasi-market communities such as Fort Smith and market communities such as Inuvik but not in Hay River? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
