Yeah, thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I think this is a really important subject and really important question because although I know that there is a huge push to increase public housing, and I understand the huge importance of that, there is also a need for us to be -- or for the GNWT to be able to fill vacant positions in communities that they are creating both because the communities need it, this -- and there's a huge push to put a lot of these support services back into communities to serve residents of the Northwest Territories. And so it's -- it's one of those, you know, catch 22s, where you need both, and without properly tracking our needs then the GNWT can't fulfill them.
And so my next question there was going to be a request for understanding how the GNWT is addressing staff housing needs in small communities. And I appreciate that the Minister alluded to providing additional information on that.
And my next question is does the NWT Housing Corporation then have policies that support partnerships for private market rental agreements with Indigenous governments and with community organizations in order to increase those private market rental opportunities for moving these support services into communities so people have a place to live when they take these jobs? Thank you.
