Yes, thank you. Yes, there's 165 units that's being retrofitted, and three in Tlicho region and with highest population of all the small -- or of the Indigenous communities. I mean, that is a shame because it's really sad that, you know, some of our homeless populations, when that warming shelter is at its capacity, that they walk over to the RCMP station and check themselves in. I mean, that's wrong. You know, like, I mean it is sad. It's really sad. I don't like that. So I just -- yeah, and I know that she did say that there is some -- this current -- or this past current fiscal year, but there were some houses that were supposed to be -- there were some houses -- new houses that were allocated in Behchoko and in Whati as well, but we haven't seen any of those houses. When are those houses going to be in the communities for families to move in because there are -- like, with this family of seven kids, there are some others with children that are still waiting. And Minister has my email of all those that I submitted within the last two/three weeks that families are waiting for housing. And winter is coming, and we have nothing. And that is a shame that, you know, that we're not doing enough. And there are some units that housing has, 14 units, that Tlicho would like to take over so they can help with the homelessness too. And that -- nobody -- they're not even going -- they don't want to transfer those units to Tlicho government as well. So it would have -- it would have helped with the homelessness issues too. Now we're -- you know, like, I mean, we have no housing. We have lots of housing that are boarded up, that's been boarded up some of them for over ten years. And I don't know why it's still there if they're not going to fix -- if they're not going to fix it, give it away. And that's what we been saying for quite some time. And it's -- the housing is slow at giving those units away to some people. Thank you.
