Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is directed to the Minister of the NWT Housing Corporation.

Mr. Speaker, yesterday I requested that the honourable Minister clarify the status of the pending transfer of housing sub-office staff from Rankin to Arviat. Mr. Speaker, yesterday it was unclear as to whether the hamlet of Arviat were aware or advised of this pending transfer. Mr. Speaker, I have since verified that the hamlet have been advised of the transfer and, therefore, some are concerned about any delay in this pending transfer.

Mr. Speaker, would the honourable Minister kindly respond in more detail to this issue so as to provide greater assurances that this transfer will, indeed, take place. Thank you.
