Thank you.

I have a question for Raigili.

I'm trying to educate the MPs about northern issues and aboriginal and indigenous affairs. If funding was not a barrier, would Igloolik be prepared to build housing and conduct the repairs needed? You get labourers to come in and help to erect houses. They may come in to build 20 houses. Do you have Inuit who are working in housing and not able to work at housing?
