Thank you, Mr. Chairman. On page 13, item 4, the Minister says there is going to be an aggressive information campaign launched to get the information out to tenants. Is that going to be done by the housing authorities, Housing Corporation staff, or through a combination of the two?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. That would be done by the housing authority, in conjunction with the NWT Housing Corporation. Every client in every community in every riding will be consulted and will be told of the changes. It will be a house-to-house campaign. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to ask the Minister, then, if the local housing authorities will be undertaking this information campaign, are they going to be provided any additional resources to handle this work? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yes, we will be working very closely with the housing authorities to get this thing done. We know it will cost some extra money in some areas. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. On the same topic, if you recognize that it is going to cost additional dollars in some areas, how have you identified those extra needs? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, there is going to have to be a lot of resources put into tenant counselling and the like. I think this has been acknowledged in the Minister's paper. I would like to ask, have there been specific funds allocated to meet the additional implementation requirements at the local level? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The implementation process that Mr. Ng was asking about will require more intensive effort, at least in the first phase. I would like to ask the Minister, in the implementation cost he outlined four years and $9 million. Have specific funds been budgeted for the increased resources required at the community level? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. No, not at this time but we will do that. On page 14 of 16, item 6, it spells it out. We are committed to that and we fully understand the regional consultation process. We heard it many times in a lot of the regions that the local housing authorities are going to have to have assistance to implement the new rental scale program. We fully agree with them and we will work them to ensure that they do have that assistance. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
