I know that the use of realters has had an impact on the prices. Houses that were once offered to employees for $80,000 to $90,000, are now in the hands of realtors and are on the market for $110,000 to $115,000. It has had that kind of impact on the prices.
When the sale of staff housing strategy was announced, there was an initial reaction from staff. A lot of staff were going to quit and leave because they couldn't afford housing, utilities and the associated costs. Can the Minister indicate what impact this strategy had on the levels of staff in the north?
