Thank you, Madam Speaker. The Member is correct. It shouldn't be evaluated as a part of the CNIT. Thank you.

Sorry, Madam Speaker, I didn't catch the answer. Could I ask him to repeat it? Is that allowable under the rules?

Thank you, Madam Speaker. The vacation travel assistance shouldn't be part of the CNIT. It shouldn't be taken into consideration. It shouldn't be calculated. That's my understanding of the program. If the Member can let me know of any problems in his riding, I will fix them.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. If the Minister can determine if the vacation travel assistance is currently factored in as income, will he amend the CNIT guidelines to ensure that it's not a part of income in determining eligibility for these home ownership units? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I cannot amend the guidelines on my own, I would have to take that to Cabinet. But I'm fairly sure that's not part of it. I will look into that issue and get back to the Member.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. With respect to eligibility of these home ownership units, I would like to ask the Minister if all individuals are treated equally whether they are a single person or whether it's a couple with children, in determining whether they're eligible for these home ownership units. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Under the point system, the rating that people get, they were all treated equally. We tried to adjust that point system this year and it has been brought to my attention. People with families will be given extra points to get into housing. They will be awarded houses over single people because that's the best way to allocate houses. You solve more housing needs that way. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I take it from the Minister's answer, is he suggesting that single people are less qualified than families with children in determining their eligibility for these home ownership units? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. What I'm saying is that a couple with a family is more in need than a single person. Thank you.

Question 440-12(5): Designation Of One Minister For Departments Of Health And Social Services
Item 5: Oral Questions

Charles Dent Yellowknife Frame Lake
Thank you, Madam Speaker. My question is for the Premier. I indicated yesterday that I welcomed the response of the government to the recommendations of the Special Committee on Health and Social Services, and saw them as fairly positive. I note that in response to recommendation one, the government has indicated that they will combine the departments of Health and Social Services by April 1, 1995. The second part of the Special Committee on Health and Social Services recommendation, though, was that the first step should be the designation of one Minister responsible for both departments by March 31, 1994. I was wondering if the Premier would confirm that she intends to follow this recommendation by announcing a Cabinet shuffle later today.
