Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Well, I don't know if I can ask it in any other way. Is the Minister of Health and Social Services aware, and the Minister responsible for the Housing Corporation and the Minister of income support, that there are dozens and dozens of families in Yellowknife who are homeless because they can't get into public housing? They can only get $32 even if they find other housing. There is no way you can find lodging for that money. The Centre for Northern Families is really for certain women. I don't think you can have kids there. The YWCA has a huge line-up. The Salvation Army is only for men. Where do families who don't get anywhere go? I guess they have to go to income support. Does this cover those families who are caught in this maze of three or four different programs?
