Mr. Chairman, in terms of units that are in good repair, like the seniors' units that you mentioned then, I would suggest that if there is no uptake on the horizon, that these facilities be reprofiled and that they get put into use. It's just about unthinkable in some of these communities where there must be a demand, whether it's young people who are heading out on their own, in communities where there isn't a lot of market there aren't a lot of options. There must be demand. It's sad to me to see facilities being operated, O and M going into them, the lights are on, the heat is on and they are not being utilized. I think that's a tremendous waste and you have to get very creative when you think about working and consulting with communities to find out how these facilities can be put to use, even if initially they somewhat missed the goal or the target when they were initially constructed. So I would like to see that reprofiling exercise take place.

Back to the abandoned or unused units, you are saying that some of the older units are available to the occupants in them. They would rather not take them on under homeownership themselves. They would rather get a new unit where essentially the capital and the O and M is picked up by the NWT Housing Corporation. Isn't there anything that you could do, Mr. Chairman, that would kind of make there be some incentive to people? Give them the house, if they will take on the operations and

maintenance of the house, and fix it up and invest something in it, some of their own sweat equity into it, and it gets them into an independent situation and off the books of the NWT Housing Corporation. It would be worth it for you to give the units away. Is there anything that precludes the government from giving the units to those occupants or giving away the empty units? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
