Minister of Housing, Mr. Morin.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It shouldn't be the policy of the Housing Corporation to identify units for specific organizations or departments in this government. The whole idea of transferring staff housing to the Housing Corporation was to consolidate all of our housing under one roof so we can make better use of it. I'm hoping that is what they're doing out in the communities.

It's good that the Member has raised that issue. I will look into that and see if we can address that problem. Houses shouldn't be sitting there empty if they're needed. Thank you.

Supplementary, Ms. Mike.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The information I have is that these four units are allocated to health employees. However, some of the health staff aren't utilizing these units, and the education council has been told that it is for some time in the future when health staff increases that they are reserving these. Can the Minister assure me that these units can be

allocated to the teachers so the community of Clyde River can hire the teachers they want to hire, and not compromise? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Let me assure the Member that I will look into this issue today. I don't say who gets units in any individual community and I'll look into it. It's a serious issue as far as I'm concerned because they shouldn't have to jeopardize how people hire teachers. We will look into it today. If the Member can give me some written information on it, then I could follow up on it immediately. Thank you.

Item 6, oral questions. Mr. Ningark.
