Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The option of the community doing the survey on behalf of the Housing Corporation with no Housing Corporation staff participating is not open to the community. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I agree. We will do it jointly.

Mr. Chairman, the survey to be done this Spring is to adjust all the needs in the Northwest Territories. I do not know how to have 52 different surveys asking 52 different questions in each survey all over the communities, and try to make sense of it to begin with. The question has to be put the same to each community. What we are trying to do is adjust the need and find out what the need is. No, the option is not open for the community to develop their own survey. Thank you.

What I am trying to say is that it is going to be a joint effort. The community is going to be working on behalf of the community, and their representation is going to represent the community. There is going to be a Housing Corporation official to represent the Housing Corporation, and that is how it is going to work. It has got to be a well rounded group to do the survey. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I will not commit to a contract here. No, I will not do that, but what I am saying is that the community will do it with the assistance of the Housing Corporation. It is going to be a joint effort. It is not going to be one or the other.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. May I suggest, Mr. Zoe, that once we come closer to that time of the survey being done, that your people may take the opportunity to sit down with the Housing Corporation people and work it out. I am not going to negotiate a contract with you here.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Once again, the needs survey will be done by the community with the assistance of the Housing Corporation. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The needs survey that will commence this spring -- it is very important that Members inform their communities of how important that survey is. The Housing Corporation will do some of that up-front work and try to inform people of how important that work

is.

Once again, Mr. Zoe, I said that the community will be doing the survey with the Housing Corporation's assistance. That is how it will be done. The questionnaire will be a standard questionnaire, because it is the need of one community versus the need of another community. It is not just Rae's need. We have to look at Good Hope's need, we have to look at Fort Smith's and Coral Harbour's. We have to look at them all and they all have to be equal. So it will be done in that fashion.

It will be done in your region and it will be done in the Dogrib language. It will be the Dogrib people who are doing it. It is not going to be the Housing Corporation people doing it. It will be your own people doing it with the assistance of the Housing Corporation.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I realize what has happened traditionally in the past, but that is not going to happen in the future. The corporation is not going to go in and do the survey. The survey will be done by the community, and they will make sure that all people are represented by the vehicle that we use to do the survey -- whether it is the band, hamlet or whatever -- and we have to make sure of that, Mr. Zoe.
