Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and I thank the Minister for that response. My final question is about quality control. Since one entity is doing the building and another is providing for the O and M, what kind of quality control will be exercised over this project and by whom? Thank you.

Thank you to the Minister. The Minister and the Housing Corporation have been very diligent about not allowing for an increase in the number of units within the Housing Corporation stock because of the increased operations and maintenance costs that come with extra units, so will the Minister accept extra units if that is what the IRC decides to do with its money?

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate everyone who just finished the Walk to Tuk this winter, along with the organizers of the event, the NWT Recreation and Parks Association.

The Walk to Tuk, as you probably know, is the largest, longest, and most effective physical activity event undertaken each year in the NWT. Teams of course do not literally walk to Tuktoyaktuk, but rather walk to work, walk the dog, jog, ski, snowshoe, or walk on a track. Teams left Fort Providence on January 3rd, setting out on the 1,658 kilometre journey to the Arctic Coast and together 3,600...

Mr. Speaker, I would like to table the following document, a November 23, 2016 letter from participants in the Smart Prosperity Canada Initiative, in which corporate officers of 16 major Canadian firms and organizations called upon the Prime Minister to introduce carbon pricing. Thank you.

This money provides for IRC beneficiaries, but I am wondering how the Housing Corporation is planning to meet the needs of the other residents of the Beaufort Delta who are waiting for housing, that is, other beneficiaries and other non-Indigenous people?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you for that answer. I think just some highlevel summary information would give us a flavour of what kind of projects have been completed, and that would be useful. Thank you very much.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I want to give the department some unsolicited advice that they promote this figure, both as a way of showing that this program works, and also to encourage people to use this program. That seems like a significant amount of waste that might otherwise have just gone into landfills, where of course they are very problematic because of the heavy metals they contain. Those are all my questions. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. What I understand is that there are two different things going on. One is a review of the financing of the program and the other is a review of the implementation of the program, and we will get some kind of a report on that in the next short while. Is that correct?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the Minister's commitment to share that information. It seems to me that it's one of the most tangible ways for us to measure the effects of climate change, and especially in making some very significant decisions to relocate some or all of the different communities and their buildings in order to stay out of the way of the ravages of erosion. I have some questions on electronic waste. Is this the right section to ask those? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. That's good news to hear. Is there baseline data also being collected on climate change with respect to things like erosion? Thank you.
