Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I think we again, as a government, can demonstrate the fact that it is across the board and the cost of living impacts on the health of residents. There are a number of factors that we've looked at, as a government, in trying to wrestle with the shortage of housing across the Northwest Territories, and the Housing Corporation has undergone an initiative to try to bridge that gap to a certain degree. Members of this House have put a motion on the floor to decrease the core need, and all of that requires much more money than we have right now, and we either have to come up with new sources of revenue or come up with another way of trying to bridge that gap. So I think we have demonstrated, as a government, that we are interested in that, we'll look at some options. But at the same time, because we are in a tight fiscal environment, we're going to have to measure off both sides of the equation to see if in fact there's a positive enough benefit that we will take the initiative. I think one of the things that has been debated in this House is trying to think outside the box. Thank you.
