(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I stated in my Member's statement, my question is to the Minister of the Housing Corporation. He responded to Dennis Patterson's question, as I understood it, that there would be no evictions without further investigation. For instance, if they have more than one person making an income in a family and an elder living in the house, how would they go about reviewing as to who in the house is not paying. Because he said that there would be no evictions at all if just one of the people in the house would be evicted, what about for that one person who is not paying? How would you deal with that person individually? Will they be evicted? Or, could you further clarify as to what you would do with this one person? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The new rent scale is based on a certain amount of trust of the tenants to be reasonable and responsible in paying their rent. For example, in a unit if any individual is not paying their rent, the local housing authority would consult with that person and try to set up -- if they fell behind in their rent -- a repayment schedule with that individual. And than if all else fails, the very last resort would be an eviction notice would go to that person. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
