Thank you, Madam Chair. I totally agree, GNWT should get out of the housing business. We should give it to NGOs and Indigenous governments and communities and have them operate the houses and the public housing units. That would be wonderful if we can get to that point. But until then, we have to operate in this manner because we have to be accountable to this House and constituents. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you. Seeing no further questions. I remind committee that the estimates for Housing Northwest Territories are included in the capital estimates as an information item only. The committee will not be voting on the activity total. I'm now going to call a break. So we'll go into a break and be back in. Thank you.
