Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I guess the one issue I would ask is did the department consider in terms of following up on Ms. Lee's comments in terms of surplus of supplies, and that is some of the supplies that the Housing Corporation has, do they I guess sell them on a yearly basis or every six months? Because I know there's a doorknob that cost about $74 in Tulita, Northern Store, and padlocks cost about $34 or $35, a real good padlock. So that's over $100 just for a padlock and doorknob. So does the Housing Corporation have any supplies that would be available to seniors in terms of them needing for their homes on notice? I think some of that affects our communities in our region and I know some elders just go to the Northern Store and they just purchase it right there. Stubborn. Like some people I know, but, however, some elders, they ask if they can help them out in terms of purchasing some of these supplies from the Housing Corporation. I'm not advocating that you guys open up a Home Hardware or Canadian Tire in the Housing Corporation, but be of assistance on an emergency case basis that you have some flexibility in that area. Thank you.
