Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I could tell the Minister that the last time I checked, about a month ago, there were at least six seniors waiting for low cost, not social housing, but low rent housing in the Northern United Place. There are dozens of people waiting for housing in Aven Manor. That tells me there are over 20. Even if there are 10 new units being built in Yellowknife, that would only meet half of the need. I think there is a way to solve this without government actually building senior citizens' housing. There is a partnership that can be done with the government and private developers. Would the Minister consider looking at what the needs of seniors are and come up with some sort of independent housing? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
