Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This is a written question to the Minister of Personnel.
Would the Minister responsible for the Department of Personnel please provide the following information:
a)as to whether it is the department's intention to pursue what appears to be a two-stage rent increase within a period of less than one year for employees who refuse to sign new leases as indicated in Tabled Document 66-12(3) and Tabled Document 112-12(3) in contravention of section 47(1) of the Residential Tenancies Act; and,
b)if it is not the department's intention to contravene the Residential Tenancies Act, please provide this House with a clear and understandable explanation of how the department will handle the issue of utilities charges for those tenants who do not agree to sign new leases. Thank you.
