Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, in most cases with the funding that is provided to individuals through an application for a different program, IHP or EDAP or whatnot, we do have a responsibility to ensure that the public funds that are expended are expended through a process, which is in most cases publicly tendered. Then from there, we do have ongoing inspections, like the Member mentioned. Again, it's at different levels. We have inspections from the foundation, and then you do the framing, and then the insulation and electrical and plumbing and whatnot. But again, it's the process we follow because it is public funds being expended on these housing units.

Again, the Member's right; the individuals don't have a real role to play until they finally move in. They have to sign off on the inspection sheet in order to move into the unit. So basically the involvement of the individuals is usually at the back end. I know this question did come up before in Fort Simpson, when we were in Fort Liard that for individuals that are getting this work done, I don't see why they couldn't be there with the inspector at these different levels, making them aware that the inspector will be there so they can accommodate the inspector to ensure that it is done in regards to the requirements that we expect from the contractor. Again, it's just a question of communication and making sure that the proponent is there who will be the homeowner and is involved in actually seeing their home being constructed, but also being involved on the inspection side when the inspectors do their different inspections and notifying and letting them know that they are there.

That's about as much assurance as I can give to the Member, is that we try to do what we can, but again, we're pretty short in regards to our inspectors. We have asked for an increase in regards to our technical staff so we can have more people on the ground to do more inspections and make sure we're able to carry them out. That's all the commitment I can make to the Member is that's something we should look at to ensure that the client is there during those inspections. Thank you.
