Thank you, Mr. Chairman. On Friday, when I made general comments, I had made a comment about high- income earners becoming home owners. Some of the housing association staff who are living in public housing at the present time are, I understand, receiving a little bit of housing allowance. Another thing, too, as a result of increased rent that was implemented some time ago, GNWT staff earnings have become considerably less because of the increase and there is shelter assistance provided to them. I wonder if these expenses have been analyzed.
I have a paper before me that was prepared by an SAO at the request of the hamlet council of Cape Dorset. He says in the hamlet of Cape Dorset alone, it would require approximately an additional $300,000 to meet this benefit on the scale that the GNWT does. That's why I was asking if this kind of thing has been analyzed. Mr. Chairman, I think what I'm going to do is provide this paper to the Minister so he and his staff can have a copy of what I'm talking about. It's titled: "Rent Scale Options for Alternative Implementation."
