Before the break, we were prepared to deal with the new rent scale for social housing but before I recognize any of the speakers, I would like to take this opportunity to recognize in the visitors' gallery, Stefan Lambertz from Belgium. He's an exchange student from Belgium and will be in Yellowknife for the next 10 months. Welcome to the Legislative Assembly. Bonjour, et bienvenue a Yellowknife, Monsieur Lambertz.
---Applause
Would the Minister like to begin with his opening comments on the new rent scale for social housing? The chair recognizes the honourable Member for Tu Nedhe, Minister Morin.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I do not have prepared opening comments. I had given a Minister's statement in the House yesterday as basically my opening comments for this item, the new rent scale for social housing. We've worked on this document now for the past two and a half years, I believe. I did table this document in the House last spring. Since tabling this document in the House last spring -- the new rent scale for social housing -- we have gone out to every region and consulted with the regional people on the rent scale. The regional people and leaders have come up with recommendations that have changed this document. They came up with some very good recommendations. The rent scale has also gone back to the Advisory Committee on Social Housing with the recommendations from the regional consultation meetings. The advisory committee made recommendations to me to take to Cabinet. I did take these recommendations to Cabinet. All the recommendations from the advisory committee were accepted by Cabinet and given approval with exception to where Members of the advisory committee wanted to include students as part of the people who have free rent. We have to develop this social housing rent scale to co-exist with other things this government is doing. I was advised that Arctic College does supply a certain amount of money for students to pay their rent. It would be the same as Arctic College would charge.

Just one, Mr. Chairman, and that's with regard to the exemption. The exemption is pretty well the same with the exception of students, right? That's the only difference?
