Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have a few comments on the CARE program. I see it’s mostly geared towards low-income homeowners. Up in the riding of the Mackenzie Delta, I mentioned earlier today we have many people, especially in the community of Aklavik – which is isolated a good portion of the year – that pay almost double the prices of food and gas compared to other areas of the territory. We have a number of people in the community who would like to access funding, whether it’s for replacing a roof or doing major repairs to their homes. They aren’t eligible for the funding that’s available because they are told they make too much, yet they’re barely getting by. I’m hopeful that’s something we can all work towards over the next while to make those sorts of changes.

I noticed also in the Mackenzie Delta that there will be mostly repairs that are being done, but I’ve noticed there are a lot of new places that have gone up over the last year or two. I’m hopeful in next

year’s budget I will see some multiplex units going up in the region.

I know in the community of Tsiigehtchic a lot of the units are full, so I think there’s a need there in the community for more units. At the moment, those are the only comments I have. Thank you.
