Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have a question on the budget statement, and I must preface it by saying that I do understand that the Minister of Finance has worked diligently and very hard and it was not an easy thing. I think it is a modest, conservative budget that would hopefully get us on a good financial footing in the future. I realize we're going to have lots of questions in the debates, but there's something that I want to ask a question about. It's on page 14, and this happened to me twice already, Mr. Speaker. As all other Members, when the Minister of Finance is reading the budget, we pay attention to every word and you hear words that you really like. I will read it here. It says: "Mr. Speaker, there is a shortage of affordable housing for both government and industry workers in our communities. Opening up new subdivisions and providing services to new properties is very costly. To ensure enough lots are ready for developers..."
It's like music to your ears. It's like somebody is recognizing the high cost of developing lots. Knowing what's happening in Yellowknife and many other places, wow, the government is going to do something. Then you get totally crushed because the amount is only $300,000 and when you keep waiting and read on, you realize everything is for non-tax-based communities. So I would like to know from the Minister if he has given any thought to any possibility of any assistance going to some of those heated markets where the costs of developing lots are skyrocketing. Thank you.
