Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I understand core need is very high. We have over 900 families in the Northwest Territories that need homes. This is the waiting list across the North. We're doing a territorial housing needs assessment, and this is important work because it offers us both a qualitative look and a quantitative look. Right now we've done the quantitative, and we're working towards qualitative. We're working with the university of British Columbia, and they have a HART tool, it's a housing assessment resource tool. And this tool is working with Housing NWT to go across and engage with communities with this tool, using this tool, to look at homes across the North, the quality of homes. Because we can continue to put quantity of homes but the quality inside that home is really important.

I've been into homes from Sachs Harbour to Fort Resolution, and I see the disparity especially with public housing. So when you talk quality of homes, this is important work that they're going to do, and we're hoping to have this done by fall of 2025. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
