Thank you, Madam Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Public Works and Services. In level II and III communities, there is a limited amount of housing, including GNWT staff housing. Through the staff housing strategy, a number of your units are being sold off, as indicated by your list provided on Friday. In determining how many units are to be sold, has the government established a poll of required housing in these level II and III communities in order to ensure

that housing is available for the teachers, nurses and other staff who are hired from outside the community?

Thank you, Madam Speaker. The houses are offered to employees who live in those units. Then the Department of Personnel is looking at houses that are not needed. But it is the Department of Personnel that tells DPW the number of units that are needed. Thank you.

Can the Minister advise us if there is a strategy for the allowance of growth in government positions? For example, are there going to be designated houses for teachers coming in from outside the community because of grade expansions in the communities?

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Yes, that need will have to be addressed. If there are not enough units, the government would lease those units from developers in those communities. If at all possible, we wouldn't be building any new units ourselves. Thank you.
