Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, I am quite curious about the process outlined by the Minister of Personnel for the second round of housing sales. As I understand it, Madam Speaker, all employees were given a second chance to purchase, by a recent circular, and they have until this week to express an interest, where upon an invitation to purchase will be sent to the employees by DPW. My question to the Minister of Personnel is, whose statement refers to a detailed community assessment to assess surplus, is the community assessment process going to take place after the process of the current round of purchases, offers and invitations? Or, is it going to take place before those offers and purchases are finalized? Thank you.

With greatest respect to the Minister, Madam Speaker, if the purpose of the community assessment is to determine whether there is a surplus of staff housing in a community -- in other words, whether there are some surplus houses that can be safely disposed of without jeopardizing the government's program delivery capability -- wouldn't a correct time to do a community assessment be before you sell off the houses, rather than after you have already made offers and acceptances? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Where there is the most concern in a shortage of staff housing is in level III communities. We hardly have any staff who are interested in purchasing their units. It is different for level I and level II communities. But in level III communities, we are not showing much interest in purchasing houses. Thank you.

Since invitations were made to all employees living in level I, II and III communities as to whether they wished to purchase in the second round of invitations, were there any community assessments done before these two rounds of purchases were conducted? Or, is the one referred to in the Minister's statement going to be the first comprehensive community assessment done? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. The 16 units that have been located in the communities, are the result of the assessment that has been made. That will not changed, Madam Speaker.
