Thank you, Madam Chair. Coming up with a number, and I think I raised this number when you guys first started. We did do some costing of what it would cost to get out of the housing crisis in the NWT. It's a very high number. It's half a billion dollars if we want to reduce our wait lists of approximately 900 to 1000 people on a wait list. To put adequate housing in every community, we need some money big time. We rely on the core need report. I think the last report was produced this past year, and we take that into consideration when we do our capital planning of where we put our assets. Another area that is very important for us to inform the process, an endeavour that we're under right now, is the community housing plans. The development of community housing plans across the NWT is going to really inform not only existing need, it's future needs in each community.

Every community has different needs. As the Minister alluded to earlier, we travelled to 14 communities over the summer, so we've got to see firsthand. Every community, when we are doing these community housing plans -- I think we have about 14 or 15 underway right now -- they all have different needs, and they have different solutions on how to meet those needs. We're very encouraged. I know the progress and the community housing plans is not quick enough at times, but it is a very informing document that's going to help not only for this year or future years. It's going to dictate how we spend our money, and where we have to access additional money to meet those needs. Thank you, Madam Chair.
