This is in return to Question O334-12(2), asked by Mr. Koe on March 24th. Under the short-term housing sale program, the Department of Personnel, in conjunction with the Department of Public Works, has received 35 offers from employees for the purchase of government staff housing. Eleven of these bids were accepted: one in Inuvik; one in Norman Wells; one in Coppermine; three in Rankin Inlet; three in Fort Smith; and two in Fort Simpson. The employees are currently in the process of completing their financing. The long-term strategy sale in Yellowknife, Fort Smith and Hay River has not reached an offer stage.
