Mr. Speaker, I have one further reply. It is a return to an oral question asked by Mrs. Marie-Jewell on March 7th, regarding the transfer of responsibility for staff housing to the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation.
Mr. Speaker, as part of the long-term staff housing strategy, the responsibilities for the various components of the program will be transferred from the Department of Personnel and from the Department of Public Works and Services to the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation and to the Financial Management Board Secretariat beginning on April 1, 1995.
On that date, the present headquarters responsibilities of the Department of Personnel for the administration of staff housing will be transferred to the Housing Corporation. Personnel responsibilities for staff housing policy will be transferred to the Financial Management Board Secretariat.
A timetable for the transfer of the remaining property management functions to the Housing Corporation, and for the consolidation of staff housing maintenance functions, is being prepared and will be tabled in the Assembly during the next session. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
