Thank you, Madam Chair. Overall I guess at the end of the day is that, you know, we're still in a housing crisis here in the Northwest Territories. It's significant. It's right across the board in all 33 communities. And I don't see a plan. But overall, I think maybe is, you know, the aboriginal governments are now looking at going directly to Ottawa to get the same pots of money but they're competing with the Housing Corporation somehow, and that needs to be looked at again because what -- the reason why they're doing this because they have to jump through these hurdles to qualify with their own people through the Housing Corporation but now they want to go directly to Ottawa and get that pots of money directly given to them. So I'm just thinking, you know, the Housing Corporation is 50 years old already and it still seems like they can't get it right. So maybe it's something that we need to take a look at that. You know, sooner or later that the Housing Corporation structure itself, you know, is it meeting the needs of the people here in the Northwest Territories for housing, whether it be in the homeownership or repairs. So my final question will be is that do you foresee that happening? I mean right now as it is, we can't keep going the way we are status quo because nothing's going to happen. We're going to be bureaucratic red tape, and things need to change. Thank you.
