Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, when the Minister says that it's the wish of his department and this government to keep seniors in their own homes living independently, that just leads into something I referred to earlier in my Member's statement, which is how can there be such a gap between offering social housing to seniors, zero rent, and offering virtually no support for seniors who are trying. That's a contradictory statement, Mr. Speaker, to say we're trying to encourage. What specific programs does the NWT Housing Corporation have today, or are they planning tomorrow to offer some assistance to seniors who want to live independently, who are attached to their own homes, who are well enough to look after themselves, but their neighbour down the street is living in a public housing unit for zero? What are we going to do to close that gap? Thank you.
