Thank you, Madam Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Personnel, since her department is responsible for the implementation of the staff housing strategy. Are GNWT staff currently residing in public housing, eligible to purchase GNWT staff housing units?

Thank you, Madam Chair. As Mr. Morin explained earlier, the people who receive a sales offer,

are the staff who are living in staff housing, not public housing units. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I don't have the answer to that one. As you know, I just took over the portfolio for Personnel in September. It was in place then and there have been ongoing discussions. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I wrote all the MLAs a letter indicating I would be willing to sit down with them and go through the communities. If they had any questions or if there were any problems, I would try to work them out with them. They know their communities better than I do. I will certainly consider his question and bring it to the Cabinet's attention. Thank you.
