Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I agree with Mr. Yakeleya 100 percent. It is about educating those out there and making them realize it is quite a privilege to have a roof over your head and make sure that you look after it. It is a message that I have been trying to get out there. I know in some of my travels around the Territories and meeting with some of the community leaders or regional leadership, I mentioned that to them that we, as leaders, need to make our people aware of how fortunate they are to live in these units. A lot of these units were brand new when they moved in and they don’t take care of them as well as they should. I believe the message is going to start getting to them.
The LHOs are starting to take a harder stance on the upkeep of the unit and how you look after it. I think if we make people accountable, I think we should hopefully see the change in attitude. It is one that we continue to work on, but I always have been fairly confident that the message will get out there and we will have folks out there that will actually start looking after their units.
As homeowners, as most of us are, we realize the importance of looking after our units. This is something that I believe that most folks in the Territories are going to realize, especially a lot of the clients in the public housing units where it is easy to just pick up the phone and phone the LHO and say my doorknob is broken. There is no toilet paper on my holder. It is a work in progress.
