Thank you, Madam Chair. Housing is there ready and available to be working with these individuals in making sure that we provide the adequate services. We've got 52 applications so far. And like I had said, that the condition of the units as well too that we need to make sure that when we transfer these units over that they are -- they don't come with issues. We've got to make sure that they -- we are transferring over units that don't actually have the problems. And I've travelled throughout the Northwest Territories. I've pretty much been to every single community throughout the territory, and I've seen a number of issues. I've been into a public housing unit where we had tenants using a -- what you call those, outhouse -- what is it? Honey bucket. You know, and we lack our services as well too in trying to people to maintain our units and housing maintain those as well. And to try to adequately get people purchasing these units, I need to make sure that they're safe and they're healthy units that we're transferring. I don't want to create the barriers for these transfers, but we do have this opportunity that's out there, but we just don't have the huge uptake that I was expecting. Thank you, Madam Chair.
