Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. And thank you very much to the Minister. I really appreciate you pushing the department on this. I'm very excited to have both of those highly informative documents -- well, I hope they're highly informative, because I -- and I just want to emphasize the importance of those in making decisions going forward. I've been speaking in the House a fair bit about our infrastructure deficit that we have in the Northwest Territories, both private and public, but we got to focus on what we're in control of here at GNWT. But until we kind of quantify this problem and come up with a long-term plan to address it, it is going to continue to hang over our heads. The Assembly has said that housing is our number 1 priority. I want us to put our money where our mouth is. So I would like to see us come up with a costed plan for addressing the deficit once we quantified it. So very much appreciate the Minister accelerating fthe timeline for those two documents because I think that they will be crucial to us making future decisions. I think that's all I need to say on this aspect of the business plan for now. I have some questions about what Housing NWT is doing over the next year, but that's going to be captured on page 379, so I'll leave my comments at that for now. Thank you very much.
