Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, it's still my question. My question is what is a person living in a perfect house with enough bedrooms with no adequacy issues that doesn't make enough money have to do with Housing Corporation?

My understanding of core need is it's pretty basic. It's not that complex. You have to have an affordability issue, because if you're making $250,000 or $300,000 a year, no matter what your house looks like, how small it is, you're never going to be in core need. The same applies the other way. Unless you have a suitability or an adequacy issue, how on earth are you in core need for housing? Because you don't make enough money? Then you go get a subsidy or you get some money.

I recognize that the Housing Corporation would like to address people that have affordability issues, not core need issues, affordability issues in other rentals as an example. People that are renting in a private market. They can give subsidies to those guys and reduce the people that have an affordability issue across the Territory or in Yellowknife or wherever there's other rental units, but we can't do anything about their house. We can't add a bedroom to somebody else's house. We can't start fixing somebody else's apartment. The individuals in there have affordability issue? We address it. If the Housing Corporation wants to address that issue, that's fine. Why call it core need for housing? It's not a core need housing issue.

I was amazed to see that CMHC has essentially the same description, but we must know that affordability can't stand alone. We must know that by now, that affordability cannot stand alone. No one can convince me that somebody that's not making enough money that lives in an adequate and suitable house has a housing core need issue. Thank you.
