Thank you, Mr. Speaker. A very general question and open-ended as well. What are we doing as Housing NWT realizing that one of the priority number one for this 20th Assembly is the affordability, suitability, and accessibility of housing. I think it's the 20th's responsibility to make sure that housing continues to be a priority of this government. And what we're going to do as Housing NWT to respond to this priority is some work that is being done and being done on the mandate and delivering that mandate to the House. So, again, we have to look at things. We have to analyze things. We have over a hundred staff with Housing NWT. We have 22 maybe local housing associations, organizations. So a lot of work being done at the local level. Like I mentioned, the housing units and the state of housing units, especially those that are 50 years and older, so a lot of concerns in that. Plus a declining fund with CMHC and the continued collaboration with our Indigenous governments. So a lot of work that's ongoing. And we hope to continue this work and continue these discussions so Housing NWT can be successful. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
