Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm not going to say it's a really good question, but it is a really good question because I didn't have any idea either. The first time that an Aboriginal government came to me and said we want culturally appropriate housing in our community, I kind of thought in my head and I said well, I'm sure that doesn't mean tents and igloos, because we've kind of passed that.

I asked them what does culturally appropriate mean to you, and examples were given. For example, the IRC had said that within their community, culturally appropriate, they're hunters, and within their community, they bring in meat, and I know that my father used to be a hunter as well. They bring in meat. They hang it in their house. They have blood dripping.

We currently, we bring in tile, housing with tiles and laminate flooring. The blood is dripping. It might go through the cardboard if they have cardboard down, and it gets into the cracks, and it's rotting within their flooring. For them, they want to have ideally laminate or linoleum flooring, and ideally, they'd like some kind of a drain within the room so that they can hang meat.

Now, of course, in Yellowknife, we don't have, my assumption is that we don't have as many people in our public housing units that are hunters, so for Yellowknife, those kind of additions to housings would not be appropriate. So I'm not going to go across and say within every community, now we're going to put in linoleum floors and drain pipes, but within the higher north communities, if they address that and they say that's what they need, then we'd be focusing our housing units within those communities based on what they say.

So culturally appropriate means whatever the community feels is culturally appropriate to them. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
