Madam Chair, I just want to, again, thank the Finance Minister for this because I think this is the final payment for my school so I will be in support of my budget for Mangilaluk school in Tuk, and then there's other couple other few projects in the communities I represent. And, you know, just thank you for all the consideration and all the what we've been through with that project. And I just I really hope in the next go around, we get two trailers for the portables.

You know, I really hear what Ron says but, you know, at the end of the day we have to work together, and what Mr. Simpson said is we have to a starting point...
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. You know, the under the homelessness strategy, we were told in this House that they do have units available in the community. And I'd like to make the Minister if she could get provide that information to me, not here today. If she could get that information so I could provide it to my leadership and to the people that are homelessness in the communities that I represent.
Also, Mr. Speaker, with the water shortage that we have in our communities in public housing, you know as well as I do that we have communities with overallocated with their children because we don't...
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I brought up homelessness in my riding in Nunakput and water delivery in public housing because they both intertwine. The stresses on the family and elder abuse in regards to homelessness and people not having a safe place to live.
Mr. Speaker, can the Minister provide the House today, in my riding, how many safe houses that we have and if they're furnished in the communities? Thank you.
