Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to focus in on the last phrase of this motion and highlight that and my support for it. I think we had a number of discussions in the House and in committee on what the opportunities are for encouraging self-reliance in housing programs and to meet housing needs. I think there really is a huge opportunity here and that can address our costs as well as our broader goals of bumping up skills development and self-esteem and so on; the things that go along with developing self-reliance and additional skills. I hope that that would be a prominent aspect of this program review.

There are a lot of people in our communities in social housing that are not employed and yet they are physically and mentally quite capable. This is an opportunity to, rather than just throw money at it, throw some innovation, some well-designed programs that capture that resource and put them to work in ways that benefit both our housing needs and our broader goals. I will be supporting the motion and appreciate the Member from Tu Nedhe for bringing this forward. Thank you.
