Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I indicated in my Member's statement, a Tuktoyaktuk elderly couple applied on numerous occasions for funds to renovate their home. To date this couple have been denied assistance and indicated they cannot afford to renovate their home at their own expense. Mr. Speaker, elders are living on fixed incomes and should be able to take their earnings and spend them elsewhere, not on renovations. Mr. Speaker, my question is to the Honourable Michael McLeod, the Minister responsible for the NWT Housing Corporation. Is he willing to direct his department to assist this elderly couple from Tuktoyaktuk to receive the necessary funds to renovate and complete their home? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
