Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the honourable Minister responsible for Housing. In government, there are two major types of structures. There are departments which report to the Minister, through the deputy Minister and corporations which report to boards through a president. We seem to have a very unusual structure here in the NWT, Mr. Speaker. The Housing Corporation has a president but reports to the Minister. It participates fully, like a department, in budget preparation but does not have to reveal budget details such as PYs to this House. My question to the honourable Minister is, can the Minister of Housing tell us whether the Housing Corporation is, in fact, a corporation or a department. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Supplementary to the same Minister. Without a board, what factor makes the corporation a corporation? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We dissolved the NWT Housing Corporation board of directors back in 1992, I believe. And, with full concurrence of this House we amended the legislation to do that. That's how we can still operate as a corporation without a board. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Supplementary to the same Minister. Since the Minister indicates that this is, in fact, a corporation, there should be a board that is responsible for its actions. When will the government be reinstating a board to provide direction to the corporation? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
