Mr. Speaker, I believe it is going to be the remote off-highway communities who will be hit hardest by the Minister's announced intentions. Having regard to the demoralizing effect on public servants of the staff housing increases, I wonder if the Minister for the NWT Housing Corporation would commit that these proposed rent increases, which will be staggering, will be discussed, in the communities and amongst the tenants affected before they are presented to this House. Will there be public consultation of the people who are going to be directly affected before any changes are finalized?
