Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Yes, certainly we are working, as Ministers, myself and Housing, just to deal with this particular housing shortage in the North. It has become a bigger issue, and it has been going on for a number of years.
At the same time, we did meet with the chairpersons of all five regions, including Yellowknife, and also the superintendents. In Norman Wells one of the main topics was, of course, housing. Every single individual spoke on this particular topic. We did meet with the Deh Cho representative, Mr.
Swartzentruber — the
superintendent for that region — and he made a presentation to us as Ministers.
We are moving forward. Particularly, we focused on whether it will be this fall or next year. We’re going to get some inventory from each respective riding on what kinds of units are available through the Housing Corporation. So I think we are making progress. Nolan himself will certainly work with his superintendents and the communities as well. I think we are moving in the right direction to deal with the housing crunch.
