Thank you, Madam Chair. That is the issue. It is an issue I struggled with for many years. That is why I came in to be an MLA in the first place, was because of housing and working with homeless people. This is my passion. We cannot increase the number of public-housing stock. In 2038, the operating maintenance money is gone. On average, we are spending $22,500, I believe, unless it has changed in the last two years. That was when I was two years ago as the housing Minister, $22,000 on average for every single public housing unit is what it cost the GNWT. We can't increase that stock because the money is off the table in 2038.

How we can increase it? That is about thinking outside of the cube, did you say, or box? I would say box, but I think somebody used a better term. That little cubic thing that you move around. Thinking outside the box. If we can't afford it, then why are we stuck with saying they all have to be public-housing units? Why don't we move into homeownership? Treaty people have been saying, "They promised us homes." For centuries, they have been saying that. Public housing is saying, "We don't have the money to maintain. We can't grow anymore." They have been saying that for years. They couldn't even give me an answer on when we stopped adding on to the number. The answer is: give people homes, not setting up people to fail. I do not believe that people who cannot succeed should be left on their own. There are many, many people who can afford to be in homeownership programs such as the lease-to-own. One of the Members talked about single parents, single moms. I was a single mom with two kids and lived in a dump of a trailer here in Yellowknife and so proud of that trailer. When I sold that $40,000 trailer, I bought myself a $100,000 house. When I sold that, I bought another one. It was the start. That is how I say we can do it. We bring in 100, and we get rid of 100 through homeownership. If we keep doing that, we will increase the number of homes for people in the NWT, and that should be our ultimate goal. Thank you, Madam Chair.
