Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today in my Member’s statement I was speaking about the accommodations. Many communities have adequate accommodations. You know, in Tuktoyaktuk, our teachers housing, we’re really fortunate enough to have a six-plex, but our government has pulled the funding back from the community.
Mr. Speaker, considering the housing issue is a number one problem in recruiting and retaining good staff in the communities, and considering that some communities are not waiting for the government to help develop housing strategies for their staff, will this government commit to seriously developing innovative and realistic assistance packages to these often cash-strapped small communities? Thank you.
