Thank you, Madam Chair. I guess when the $60 million federal housing allocation was determined and there was a picture in the CBC here page and they talked about the allocation for the next two years of -- coming from the $10.1 billion, the housing, of that $60 million, it says right here that it's a drop in the bucket that was mentioned by the Premier but at the same time it's supposed to address the housing crisis here in the Northwest Territories. So what I don't understand is that when I go through your list here, right now on public housing on page 73, it's highlighted that all these public housing units are funded by CIRNAC and it's an arrangement that you guys can tell me, but what I don't understand is that here in the Northwest Territories right now, that if I were to take a look in my riding, say, there's 340 houses that needs to be retrofitted times 200 -- 200,000 just to retrofit that unit, but then you got 33 communities in the Northwest Territories that probably fall into that same category so we're looking at about $2.2 billion just to fix up housing in the Northwest Territories. So I -- we've been here for 50 years already. So what I don't see is -- how come you guys don't have a plan to address these outstanding issues on the housing crisis in the Northwest Territories? So can you tell me maybe a bit about this so that I understand as to how you guys are going to deal and tackle the housing crisis here in the Northwest Territories. Thank you.
