(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question regarding government staff housing in Nanisivik. The supervisor who was in charge of looking after that was laid off. What are the plans with the government staff housing in Nanisivik? I'm asking this question to the Minister of the NWT Housing Corporation. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I spoke earlier this morning on the community leaders' forum that had been held in Yellowknife, and I'm wondering if the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs could advise if she would consider promoting the holding of similar meetings in communities -- especially the larger communities throughout the Northwest Territories -- in consideration of the fact that the Government of the Northwest Territories is looking to transfer a lot of the programs to community authority.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. One of the successes I found, of the several meetings I attended, was the presence of a facilitator which allowed the meeting to flow towards a certain direction and have goals. I'm wondering if the Minister would consider, as well, if community forums are held, that the use of a facilitator be obtained.

Question 259-13(3): Inclusion Of Sale Of Assets In Budget Projections
Item 6: Oral Questions

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Finance. The Minister is proposing a balanced budget next year. I would like to add that that gives me some glimmer of hope. We've also heard that, through petroleum products privatization, we have assets worth approximately $80 million. The government has also told us that they are looking at privatizing and selling off the staff housing. My question to the Minister is, in his assumptions about a balanced budget next year, is the potential sale of
these assets figured into his projections of a balanced budget?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The sale of the staff housing is the only factor built into our budget projections. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So the staff housing is calculated in. Petroleum products are, I take it, not calculated in. Does the Minister have any potential estimates on what staff housing will generate if the sale of that goes ahead, and what he's calculating as an additional revenue.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I believe we have somewhere around 560 staff houses that we haven't sold. It is our intention to, once again, give the tenants who are in the current houses another opportunity to purchase those houses at significant discounted rates. However, if the tenants choose not to, then we would more than likely put the houses up on some sort of public tender. We are working on a paper right now. My understanding is we are calculating, based upon some experience we have gotten from the houses we have sold across the Territories, somewhere between $15 million and $20 million. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have also talked in this House about the spending habits the government has. Will the addition of this revenue also be included additional cuts to spending? Thank you.
