Mr. Chairman, just on the adequacy, suitability and affordability problems in our regions, I know that Nahendeh and the Sahtu have pretty high core need numbers percentage-wise. I guess what I want to ask the Minister in terms of bringing down these numbers in these two different regions under these programs and district operations, is this the goal of this corporation to look at where there are high needs? They continue to be high until we have adequate funding to build in these regions because there are very unique challenges in the regions in terms of delivery, isolation and also there are, as the Minister indicated, some land tenure issues. Is this a goal of this Minister? The numbers seem to be yet quite astonishing in Colville Lake where there is the definition of suitability, affordability and adequacy. According to your definition, this is horrible for this 76 percent. I just want to see if it is the goal of the corporation to look at these significant numbers and add some resources where it would be satisfactory to the Members.
