Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have two comments. There’s a huge demand in smaller communities. I represent Fort McPherson, Aklavik and Tsiigehtchic. First off I’d like to commend the department, which has done a pretty good job over the years replacing a lot of the older units. As I go through the communities I represent, there are new places, up and coming new places. In Aklavik at the moment, we have a new Joe Greenland Centre going up and plans next year for a similar type unit in FortMcPherson. The community is very excited for this.

The big demand here is new units. As the community members are moving back from going

to school or working in other communities, there’s a big shortage of housing units, especially in Aklavik. We have a waiting list of up to two years that some people have been waiting and some even longer. So there’s a big demand for multiplex units and duplex units that’s needed in the community. I would like to ask the Minister what the plans are moving forward to fill this demand.
