Thank you, Madam Chair, we heard it here first. That's good news. I'm thankful for that. It's -- anything helps. And I think where we're -- where we're at, I guess, with the -- with everything that's going on with the COVID-19 and with the -- I worry about my riding in regards to mental health and stuff like that. It's really making tough situations for families. I got people living in tent frames. Just like the Member from Behchoko. So I'm really -- I'm at a kind of a loss. That's why I went and I got -- I have -- I hired a firm to do a housing strategy for my riding, a ten-year housing strategy, trying to do it on our own with the federal government with CIRNAC to try to get funding to work with our -- our government to try to provide houses for the people I represent. And I always want to -- like, I talked about this before but now we're right at the two yard line, basically to kick it over, is to bring private business in to build the units. And will the Minister or the government be willing to put 25 - 25 percent down on units? They'll come and they'll build them in the long-term lease on it, as long as it was all aboveboard and with all the contracts and stuff, because these are companies from down south. We don't have market housing in my riding, nothing. Everything is -- people even living in smokehouses. Not right. So I want to know if will the Minister and our government be willing to work together for getting the housing strategy for Nunakput and getting private companies to come in and do the work on their behalf to get those houses in there sooner? Thank you, Madam Chair.
