Thank you, Madam Chair. I guess the reality is that we know this isn't going to happen overnight. It's not going to happen this month. It's not going to happen this year. It's probably not going to happen within the next five years. But what can happen is that we have to develop a plan, a long-term plan, to ensure that we're looking at the whole -- the whole of the issue and make sure that that plan is in place, because, you know, we're going to be short -- you know, to make this happen, we don't have -- we don't have the resources. We don't have the labour here. You know, we don't have the infrastructure probably to put the number of units up that we need in a short time.

So it has to be long term, or it -- you know, somewhat long. But it's got to be -- there's got to be a plan with some -- you know, with some measurables in there and something that we can follow.

But at the same time, we've got other issues, and those issues are -- you know, the M and Is are for -- you know, for, say, a private dwellings, like we're so short on funding for that. I know in Hay River, there are a lot of people -- or a few people there went without, you know, just because there was no money there. So what are we doing to ensure that -- that we're also addressing that? Again, that's another long-term plan but we need -- we need a plan. We need something that we can follow and while we're working on trying to put out fires. Because if we don't do that, all we're going to do is put out fires, we'll never get ahead, and I know that in four years from now, five years from now, they're going to still -- we're going to still be talking about it. You know, if it comes down to it, maybe what we have to do is to dissolve the NWT Housing Corporation, we have to turn the assets over to those who need them the most, and that's Indigenous peoples, and allow them to manage the assets regionally or in the community. Thank you.
