Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Premier regarding the housing rental. It`s been a long standing issue for some of my members in the Sahtu in terms of the first time these houses were situated in the communities. The federal government made some promises over the years. It still holds true to some of the older people in terms of the guaranteed amount that was supposed to be arranged with our elderly people in housing with respect to the amount of rent that over the years has increased to this type of discussion. Some say it was in our treaties. Some say it was different interpretations. I’m asking the Premier in terms of his discussions with the federal government if the housing guarantee to aboriginal people in these units is as true as it was in the early days of housing being in the communities.
