Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Safety and Public Services. Currently, the department employs a full-time rental officer and the office is supported by an administrator and a secretary. From talking to people in the communities, they are very pleased with the job that is being done by the office. The people in there seem to have a good understanding of northern housing rules and regulations and are perceived to be fair and knowledgeable about housing conditions and issues in the Northwest Territories.
Now that the budget for the department has been approved, I would like to ask the Minister whether or not the role of the rental officer will, in the future, remain the same as it has been.
