Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes. We could be facing a situation where, I mean, the housing wait list could double with all the people who could be evicted from the high-rise. I am not saying this is going to happen. Every time I inquire about it, people say, “Well, we are paying attention. We are coordinating with the fire marshal,” all this kind of stuff. There is always that lingering thought.
Like I said, there isn't the market housing in Hay River to absorb all these people. Because of Hay River's location, you know, even though we are just north of Alberta, it is seen as remote. Not the same rules apply to it when developers want to borrow money to start developing. There are different rules. It can be difficult. It is not like building in high levels. It is not even like building in Yellowknife. It is a little more difficult to get funding.
Has the department been in contact with any private developers who are looking to develop property in Hay River and seeing if they can do anything, whether through the Co-Investment Fund or anything like that? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
