Mr. Speaker, I agree with the Member that this is a big issue in our small communities. There are a number of seniors who are in need of housing repairs and I think it is a multi-faceted issue. I think it is something that the government, in different departments, as well as local leadership need to work together on resolving this. Because in so many of our communities there is lack of capacity, lack of tradespeople, lack of programs to repair some of the not just houses but lots of things that go in the house like a furnace and all sorts of things. It is something I think the government should look into. I would be happy to have that discussion with the Housing Minister. But in the meantime, with this senior in Fort Good Hope that needs help from us, I would undertake to look into that right away. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
