Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We have things so well for the seniors, maybe we could just pack up and go home since everything has been dealt with. Surely we know that's not the case. Mr. Speaker, I believe most of the programs that the Minister has indicated are in the amounts of hundreds of dollars here, hundreds of dollars there, fixing this and fixing that. I do believe that the Minister has to agree that there are no programs currently that would help seniors to get into a low-cost unit for those who have fixed pension income or some sort of income. It's a nest egg, but it's probably too large to qualify for any of these programs, but not enough to maintain a house or buy a house in this Yellowknife market. Has the Minister looked at the unique needs that seniors with fixed incomes are suffering with in Yellowknife because of its heated market? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
