Mr. Speaker, I should clarify my comments. It is not to belittle the suggestion made by the Members. The suggestion first surfaced a few days before the March 11 debate. I did not want to be accused of doing a fly-by-night strategy which some Members have been prone to suggesting over the months that we have had this debate going in the newspapers and on the radios across the north. The property tax rebate, for the Member's information, came up just a few days before the debate in this House. All I was suggesting was that from the beginning, we had certain elements which were included in our staff housing strategy. The property tax rebate, as run by the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs, was not an element in that strategy. So, I had not included it in my response since Cabinet and myself felt it was a separate issue. Thank you.
