Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I, too, am going to vote in favour of this motion. I just wanted to quickly go over a couple of points. The first one is we want the Minister responsible for the Housing Corporation to identify and recommend viable options to sustain our long-term public housing investment. Mr. Speaker, I just wanted to mention to the Minister I don't want that to come with a huge price tag attached to it. I think there have been enough studies and reports and consultation done over the years that we should be able to come to grips with some of these options without having to spend a great deal of money. I can appreciate the need that is out there. I mean, it's a tremendous need, over 2,600 units needed throughout the Northwest Territories and I can appreciate that and the Minister certainly has his hands full in trying to address this need and housing certainly is much, much needed in the regions. I would like to say I know the Minister is new in his capacity as the Minister of the Housing Corporation and I do know that he has shown the Members on this side that he does have a heart and he does have some compassion.
