I will write to my honourable colleague and explain to him in detail what we were doing, but since he would like to make it public, I am prepared to do that. Could have found out in the newspaper I guess.

The point of the matter is that this government is going to get out of staff housing. I am tired of saying it, I am going to say it again. We are going to be out of staff housing. We are going to sell the houses to our employees, and here there are leases. We are going to release these leases if it provides no undue hardship to the owners of those particular leases.

What we are working with in Mr. Picco's riding and the people in that brown building, or row housing he is talking about, we are working with them right now to find a way in which to, over a phased period of time, providing them with some financial assistance to ultimately get out of the leased accommodation where we believe the landlord is acting in an unfair manner with respect to highjacking the rates. Thank you.
