To the other half of my self-insured package or question: if you're selling a house there would you self-insure that as well to the buyer if it is somebody who is currently occupying social housing or a potential buyer out there for surplus assets, call it? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Martin. Mr. Thompson.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The Housing Department is a very common concern throughout all 33 communities. A house in downtown Nahanni Butte is similar to a house in downtown Fort Good Hope; therefore, the demand is high for the same unit. It is a controversial one, and one that has continuous support of the government in previous Assemblies to try to address the growing demands. So I look forward to going through this budget, more so on the operational side of things. I just highlighted some issues of concern; land tenure, vacant home ownership units. I am thinking and being mindful of what we had...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We mentioned it earlier, the Minister mentioned, we budgeted some tax expenditures for this project. I don't really have a question. I just would like the Minister to brief us on it periodically or when commitments are made on progress by the federal counterpart? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister Cochrane. Mr. Thompson.

Now narrowing it down to the Central Mackenzie, the only region left without a homeless shelter is the Sahtu region. What is the Minister going to do in this area?

None, Mr. Chair. Thank you.

Thank you, Minister Cochrane. Mr. Thompson.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I recall the Minister of Housing saying she wanted a homeless shelter in each region. What communities have shelters at this point in time already? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Nadli. Minister Cochrane.
