Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the Member’s comments about the Housing Corp has done quite well. We always look for some positive feedback and we appreciate that.

As far as the empty units in Fort Good Hope, we have had some preliminary discussions with the community and private individuals on those units. The one thing we want to make sure of is that we do our assessments to make sure they’re free from any hazardous type of material before we put them out, and when we do put them out, our preference would be to go to a full public process where everybody has an opportunity to access these units. So I think we’ve done our assessments, and again, once we put these units out we’ll make sure that everybody has equal access to putting a bid in on them and we’re open to selling some of these units. We want to make sure that we’re not selling units that may have potential liabilities. So, that work is just being completed and then we look to have them out soon.

The apprentices, we have 10 apprentices right now and we’re looking at options of maybe adding more in the future because we’ve been encouraged by the results of the apprentices that we have had in the communities. Again, I think it’s through the support of the committee that we report to that we’ve been able to undertake a lot of these initiatives.

I think the Member was speaking to the folks in Colville Lake. I’m not sure what their options are in Colville Lake, if it was a homeownership unit that they were staying in, then that may change the dynamics. I’m not sure if we have any units in the community that are readily available. So we have to look at, you know, it’s unfortunate that when these

situations happen where someone’s private house burns down and without the proper coverage it makes it difficult on them and then Housing is asked to step in and provide accommodations. I’m sure we would consider assisting where we can. Again, we have to ensure that, you know, we have a number of people that are waiting for units, and we have to look at every situation on a case-by-case basis.

I believe I touched on most of the Member’s points, and if I didn’t, I apologize and I’m sure he’ll remind me. Thank you.
