Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'm quite well aware of the problems the Minister is facing in terms of CMHC asking for this type of money he was just talking about. I don't think a two-year period is a long enough time to try to get these high-income earners out of public housing, unless the NWT Housing Corporation commits to allocate units within two years to all the high-income earners. My question is, will he do that, Mr. Speaker?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I have indicated in my Member's statement, most of the Nunavut communities outside of the bigger centre communities like Iqaluit, Cambridge Bay and Rankin Inlet, there are no private housing markets in these communities that could be an alternative to solving some of the problems. Mr. Speaker, a two-year period is not a long enough time for the high-income earners to prepare and try to get their homes in place.

Mr. Speaker, I'm not talking about the problem of collection of rent; I'm talking about the outcome of the family members having to pay rent if they are working in one household. In the communities that I know, the reason a lot of the families are living together is because there is a shortage of housing. I am very baffled, Mr. Speaker, that the Housing Corporation has not been able to meet the needs of the housing requirement, yet this kind of rental scale is being implemented. Has the Minister considered the potential problems that will certainly be created within households as a result of sharing of rental responsibilities?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I made a Member's statement some time ago, "Implementation of Social Housing Rental Scale." I still have concerns in this area because I have been hearing a number of concerns from my constituents as well as from the Cape Dorset Hamlet Council and Broughton Island Housing Association board raising their concerns. This government has been working very hard in the last three years to try and eliminate violence and family problems, yet as the hamlet of Cape Dorset put it together, this rental scale has the potential of creating more of the direct social problems, such as suicide and family violence. The way the rental scale is structured is being looked at as a subtle attack on family structure. I would like to ask the Minister, in the development of the proposed new rental scale for social housing, has the Minister of the Housing Corporation considered the potential problems that will certainly be created within the households as a result of sharing of rental responsibilities?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I wasn't asking about additional resources. I'm talking about finished resources we have in stock that this government can display and maybe make an attempt to sell at this exhibit. Will that be happening through the NWT Development Corporation?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It's fine for the Minister to be a little bit selfish, I would like to be too. We have very fine tapestry products from Pangnirtung that are already made and in stock. This is what I'm talking about. I'm not talking about people who are really busy trying to produce things in time to meet this exhibit in Toronto. Is the NWT Development Corporation going to be displaying these products, and not just Ivalu products? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Economic Development and Tourism about the Canadian National Exhibition that is coming up this summer. I realize what he just said, that he's concerned about the government getting too involved in marketing. However, we have projects that this government owns such as the Uqqurmiut Artists Association, Fort McPherson Canvas, and Baker Lake Arts and Crafts. They are largely funded by this government. I think it would be a good idea to exhibit these products and promote them. Would the Minister consider, for these government-assisted operations, making sure they at least have a space at the CNE? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. One thing we don't have that the west has is trees. However, there are fibreglass products that could be successfully implemented in Nunavut communities to increase employment and create a viable economy. Would the Minister look to see whether that would be feasible or not?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My supplementary is to the same Minister. Realizing the northern manufacturing initiatives have been successful in this western part of the territory, would the Minister look into the possibilities of making the same initiatives in Nunavut communities? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My supplementary to the same Minister. Where are these northern manufacturing businesses located in the NWT?
