Thank you, Mr. Speaker. If you look at all the figures that are associated with operating the board of

directors of the NWT Housing Corporation, that would be one of the first things I would like to get rid of. It would save a lot of money.

Oral questions. Mr. Lewis.

Brian Lewis Yellowknife Centre

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. To the Minister of Housing. Since it is clearly his intention to get rid of the board of directors, this would mean that it would no longer be an arm's length agency. Would it be his intention, then, to put housing directly under the control of a Minister of this government?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This then, would provide centralization of the program. Could the Minister tell me whether the local housing authorities who operate under the current structure would also disappear?

Since the corporation was established in 1975, I believe, simply because this structure would make it much easier to access various federal dollars at arm's length from the government for housing programs, will this new proposed structure still be able to access federal funds in the same way that the corporation was able to do since that was the original intention in setting it up?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The funding from CMHC will not be affected by the change through the departmental structure. You will still have to keep a shell corporation within the department to ensure that the current agreements with CMHC and access to the CMHC program are still obtainable. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Is the Minister concerned that this shell that would continue to exist would really have no function since it will no longer be directed by a board?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Member is correct. We have no function. It will be operated as a department and we will not have a board. Thank you.

Oral questions. Mr. Antoine.

Jim Antoine Nahendeh

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The people in my constituency are saddened and angry, and although it is too late to do anything for Thad Holman, Mr. Speaker, it is important that we do everything possible to ensure that our sons and daughters at Akaitcho Hall are cared for in the same attentive manner as they are when they are in their home communities. Will the Minister of Education agree to immediately review all policies and procedures regarding the supervision and care of students staying at the Akaitcho Hall residence?

The Speaker Michael Ballantyne

Minister of Education, Mr. Allooloo.

Titus Allooloo Amittuq

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I agree that there is room for improvement over the existing system that we use in caring for out-of-town students that stay at Akaitcho Hall and other places in Yellowknife. I will look into the matter for the Member to see how we can improve the existing system. Thank you.

The Speaker Michael Ballantyne

Are you taking the question as notice, Mr. Allooloo? The question is being taken as notice. Supplementary, Mr. Antoine.
