Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. I was going to speak on the core housing need in the Tlicho region, and also for the North, since the topic happens to be the Housing Corp.

Mr. Speaker, it's a real shocker that in this day and age there are many families in the Tlicho region, and I'm sure the rest of the Northwest Territories, that still get their water from the lake, and have outhouses in their backyards. Mr. Speaker, many of the residents have trouble accessing programs and services of the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation. Can the Minister tell this Assembly how NWT residents living in horrendous conditions, reminiscent of the Third World, can access the programs and services provided through the NWT Housing Corporation? Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.
