Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Our current statistics, and we do them monthly, are in the neighbourhood of a waiting list of 85 in Whitehorse for social housing. From the body that delivers for us, our agency, the Whitehorse Housing Authority, approximately 50 of those would be singles and families and about 30 to 35 would be seniors. The current projections of what we are going to be building in the next two years effectively eliminate the waiting list we have today.
One of the fundamental problems that we still have to acknowledge is that we have a lot of units that are deteriorating and getting past the point of economic repair. The corporation has already decommissioned social housing that was deemed to be beyond economic repair. So right now we're on a very strategic path to address the waiting list we have, both in rural Yukon and in Whitehorse. But as we solve one immediate problem, we still have many more in the future to deal with, particularly with an aging population.
