Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Premier. In her reply for transfer of responsibility of staff housing to the NWT Housing Corporation, the Premier indicated as of April 1st all staff housing will be transferred over to the Housing Corporation. I'd like to ask the Premier, the Housing Corporation, as we have been advised in this House, is a corporation even though they don't have a body of directors. In some replies, it's referred to as an "agency." Taking on the responsibilities of providing staff housing as of April 1st, I'm wondering whether or not the corporation is going to remain with its stature as a corporation, as it appears to be looking like a department, taking on these type of departmental responsibilities. Can the Premier identify for this House, what the corporation will be after April 1st? Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, on April 1st, the Housing Corporation will be the Housing Corporation in its present form. However, it's recognized that we'll have to look at it as a different entity very soon because it is taking over some staff housing as well as some of the other housing. On April 1st, it won't change but hopefully after that we can get our implementation plans together to see what type of a structure would best serve the needs of an umbrella department to look after the two types of housing. Thank you.

Thank you. I'd like to ask the Premier, is it possible that one of the options or plans, with regard to the process of transferring the units, may be identified as a departmental plan? Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, it's a possibility but if I sit down and leave it at that I'm sure the Member will bring up the second issue of how does that fit in to the relationship with the federal government and financing of public housing. We would have to carefully pursue that so that we would not jeopardize that funding. Thank you.
