Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Over the past few months honourable Members and government employees have been concerned about the implementation of the government staff housing strategy. On March 11, 1993 discussions were held in this House and Motion 81-12(3) was passed in committee of the whole. This motion detailed some of the strategies and directions that ordinary Members felt were fair in implementing the strategy. During the discussions the Minister of Personnel responded to the motion expressing the government's concerns regarding the motion and what they could or could not accept. However, to date we have not heard any official response from the Cabinet on this motion. Mr. Speaker, there is still much confusion in the communities and tenants are still

not aware of the official position and strategy at this time. I understand that a letter has been sent to all tenants on March 17, 1993, and it details the changes made to the staff housing strategy. In the letter, implementation dates have been specified. I believe it is 15 per cent on August 1, 1993, 15 per cent on August 1, 1994, and increased to full market rent on August 1, 1995. There were many other issues and items detailed in this letter to the staff. Mr. Speaker, I am concerned that, again, this government is proceeding full boar on a strategy without consulting MLAs. Mr. Speaker, I will be raising questions on this issue at a later time today. Mahsi.
