Thank you, Mr. Chair. First off, I just want to let the Member know that, when we speak with our federal counterparts, we continue to put the pressure and let them know our challenges here up in the North. We have actually invited the Minister to come up North and see the challenges of building housing units or any other type of infrastructure. It has been a consistent message to get more funds flowing to the Northwest Territories.

In the bilaterals, we are looking at modernizing and making our units more energy efficient. That will lower the costs on our stock. In terms of providing the details, I would have to take that back to my Cabinet colleagues. However, the Member does know that when we did go through our business plans review, that we did commit that once the bilaterals are signed and finalized, that I would be more than willing to come and present to committee on the details of that agreement. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I am just trying to figure out how much further I can go with this. Look, roads and highways are the priority for this Cabinet. The Minister of Infrastructure, when he appeared before senate committee on the same day that Nunavut announced that they were going to get $12 million for public housing retrofits under the Low Carbon Economy Fund, our Minister of Infrastructure appeared before us, the senate committee. All he talked about was the big toys for big boys: Taltson, Mackenzie Valley Highway, Slave Geological Province Road, Tlicho All Season Road. Housing was not even mentioned in his speech to those people, not even mentioned in terms of infrastructure needs for the Northwest Territories.

That is the kind of emphasis that is wrong, in my opinion. It is not what our residents need. I want you to work and I know you are going to work hard on this, Minister, but that is not the message that is getting out there. That is not the message that is being delivered in Ottawa. It needs to change. Thanks. That is all I have, Mr. Chair.
