Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to hear the Minister is somewhat uncertain about the future of this staff housing strategy. I would respectfully suggest to the honourable Minister that there should be no doubt whether employees buy their houses or continue to live in them, as I understand the staff housing strategy as announced by Mr. Kakfwi on February 17 and detailed in his statement, all tenants will pay their own electrical bills as of July 1, 1993. I believe that will put them all on the residential power rate. I would ask the honourable Minister if she would undertake with that information based on that assumption, to inform this House precisely what the revenue impact will be from that change of category, and also whether the loss of revenue that I forecast to the Power Corporation will be passed on to consumers in the form of rate increases across the Northwest Territories? Thank you.
