Mr. Speaker, I have a question for the Minister of Social Services. Since he has indicated in this House that his departmental officials that deliver the alcohol and drug program are not obligated to the abstention clause, is the Minister considering any type of directive being formulated to address avoiding double standards of a clause that he wishes to impose? Thank you.

Question O210-12(2): Eligibility To Purchase Government Housing

Jeannie Marie-Jewell Thebacha
Mr. Speaker, I have a question for the Minister of Personnel in respect to his sale of housing units for the government of the Northwest Territories. Mr. Speaker, my question is, the housing policy currently states that if you live in a government unit for one year, after one year you are encouraged to move out of the government unit and into the private market; and if you do not do that, your housing allowance gets reduced accordingly every six months. Since some individuals did take the initiative to get into the private market and some did not, I would like to ask the Minister of Personnel, does he mean that people who have just come into the community, that have lived maybe in the community for six months in government units, are eligible to purchase their government unit?

Mr. Speaker, I think I indicated that yesterday in a reply to one of the questions a Member had asked, that the units are being sold to those employees who are presently occupying the units that we designated, and there are no conditions on the length of tenancy. Thank you.

Supplementary, Mr. Speaker. It is unfortunate that the individuals who had been encouraged to get out of government housing took the opportunity and got out of it. It is discouraging. People who have just come into the community are given the first opportunity without all government employees being looked at equally. Can the Minister advise this House whether there are any criteria for disposing of these units?

Mr. Speaker, the objective was to get ourselves out of the housing business. We felt we could do it now in the three communities of Yellowknife, Fort Smith and Hay River. We felt we could do it with the particular units designated because government employees were already inside these units. We would only sell to the employees who are presently residing in the particular units. In this way, it does not disrupt the present housing market. If those particular employees choose not to buy the units, life will go on as is for a few more months. As I said, our long-term housing strategy, which we will provide in June, will hopefully address the course we take with regard to dealing with these units at that time. Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, the particular units we indicated would be available for sale in the three communities, are what you call detached units or extended units, and are owned by the territorial government. Thank you.
