Thank you, Mr. Chair. I am on it. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I will have to give some thought to actually releasing a public statement on the plan, but I can say in the House here that the plan was actually a great joy to read. Dr. Alina Turner, who wrote the plan, actually backed up everything that I have been saying for the last two years, that we need a continuum of support, that this is not just one strategy will fix all.

Within the communities, such as Yellowknife, as the MLA said, currently we lease a lot of units with private landlords, so the building of an eight-plex for the 2018-2019 fiscal year would still accommodate the need because we would free up more of the normal market housing and still be able to address the public housing need...

Thank you for the compliment. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. M and I means modernization and improvement, so it's basically repairing of units. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
