Thank you, Mr. Chair. I see a lot of expenditures going to the communities, which is great. I know the elders facility in Fort McPherson did go out to tender. I haven’t heard the latest on when the work is scheduled to begin, but I would like to get that information.

Also, as I mentioned a number of times, there’s a huge demand for housing in the small communities, Aklavik, Fort McPherson and Tsiigehtchic. As we move forward, I know our government is trying to attract people to our territory. In order for people to live here, we need places to stay. As we move forward, we have to ensure that there are houses in the communities for people to stay. Right now, we are at capacity in the communities. We have a

waiting list of up to three to five years in some cases. Young families, young people who want to begin a family, it’s really needed. As we move forward in the next few years, I’d like to see this government start planning and implementing new units in the communities. It’s great to see multiplex units going into the communities. It’s really appreciated, but we need more. There are more young, single people out there who need a place to start their own life. I have been getting a number of concerns about that as I have been travelling to the communities.

As we move forward, also, there are a number of elders who have explained that they have a two- or three-bedroom that’s not needed. They would like to have a one-bedroom place because it’s easier for them to get around. With that, we do need to build a number of multiplex units in the communities.

As we move forward, as well, Mr. Chair, the CARE program is working and is very helpful in the communities, the same with HELP. A number of people are very satisfied with this program. As we move forward, I’m looking forward to that carrying on and seeing more homeowners in the territory.

If the Minister could just give a little update on the status of the facility in Aklavik and when they plan to open that as well. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
