Yeah, well, thank you, Madam Chair. No, I mean it's -- I think this issue is not going to go away. It's still going be here for a long time yet. We're not -- nowhere near closing the gap in trying to address the issue of housing here in the Northwest Territories. And -- and at the rate we're going is we're going to continue to, you know, prop up the Housing Corporation and their expenses. Again, you know, nobody has come into our communities to say that, here's what you need for housing. How can we work with you? How can we write policies that will better suit your community? Nobody has come into our community to do assessments at our homes. And you know, it's okay to say that we're going to come there with a Minister and talk about and listen to those issues. But we've been doing this since 1970 -- what -- '72 when the Housing Corporation was created. That's 50 years ago. So I'm getting a little concerned here that, you know, as we move forward I'm worried that this government's going broke. The economy is just not there anymore. We got really take a look at as to how we're going to approach the whole thing and housing is front and center here in the Northwest Territories. So again, Madam Chair, that's just a comment. And thank you.
