Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I will start by stating that since the Minister's announcement of the staff housing strategy, there has been much correspondence and all kinds of reaction from people who are affected and people who are not affected but impacted. The impact is territorial-wide, not only on the people who live in staff housing, but the businesses and people who live beside people in staff housing and the people in public housing. The whole intent of the housing strategy is going to impact nearly all our residents. From what I understand and see in the documentation which has been provided, the only people who really are not impacted by this territorial housing strategy are people who are federal employees. We talk about equality and trying to establish equality in the north, yet we have an entire government that is not impacted by what we are doing.
Have any discussions been held with the federal government as to how they intend to deal, or are they going to deal with their employees who in many communities -- we have a territorial house and a federal house, they live side by side in the same size houses, yet even today the rental structures and benefits the feds provide to their employees are quite different from ours. I would like to start off by asking the Minister that question.
