Thank you, Madam Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Personnel again. Under the pre-1992 allocation guidelines, locally hired employees were at the bottom of the list for staff housing. Due to the limited number of staff houses, very few locally hired employees could get into the staff housing so there are currently still many of these employees living in level II and III communities who reside in public housing units. Has the Minister now ascertained why staff residing in public housing units were not taken into consideration in developing the long-term staff housing strategy.
Question 85-12(5): Staff Housing For Local Hires
In the Legislative Assembly on February 15th, 1994. See this topic in context.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Like I indicated before by way of a letter to Mr. Ng, I am willing to work with each MLA and if he can provide the particular names so then I can do something about it. Thank you.

Madam Speaker, I don't believe the question was answered and I would like to pose it again. What was the reason that GNWT employees residing in public housing units were not taken into consideration in the development of the long-term housing strategy.

I would like to ask the Minister, through you, Madam Speaker, will there be another review of this long-term staff housing strategy as a result of the concerns that have been brought forward yesterday and today?

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I have already indicated, through my letters, that I would work with each MLA. I think that is continuing on the basis of the sales as they are going with the staff. Thank you.

Thanks, Madam Speaker. I'm still not sure if the question was answered. My question was, will there be a review of the long-term staff housing strategy? Not the individual concerns of Members as a whole, but the review by Cabinet of this strategy. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Maybe I could be a little bit more clear. As part of the review, I would like to get the input of each MLA. Thank you.
