Thank you, Mr. Chair. And I'm going to try to not take up too much time. I'm kind of excited for the Member to speak about this as well because it's -- the Gahcho Dene Housing Society has been the only community that has taken this initiative and has taken housing to their own level and actually even beyond. Right now, they've accessed money through the federal government, have a strong working relationship with CMHC, and don't really require for us to be at the table but for us to be partnering and supporting their initiatives going forward.
They actually do have the unit condition ratings as well too, and they have looked at the homeownership and not public housing, but looking at housing repairs for their own communities. Right now they do have a couple of apprentices that are attending school in Fort Smith. They've got some high school students that are attending the SNAP program in Fort Smith as well too. And with that housing society, they went and took three of their individual employees and they are taking a leadership program with Aurora College as well.
So that just displays how significant a partnership can be. Working together at a smaller community and really watching them navigate themselves through the federal system and just exercising their own leadership, it's quite inspiring. But if it could be done in that community, it can be done in any community throughout the territory. So I like where the Member's going with those comments. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
