Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to ask the Minister if the regional boards housing policy would be the same as the territorial government's?

Mr. Chairman, does that mean that the regional boards, if they do take over a nursing station in the communities, that they will not be supplying housing to these nurses?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As it stands now, they would be following current GNWT policies, where we are getting out of housing, although there is a recognition for health care for nurses that have always been accommodated with accommodation, because there is a need due to the recruitment or retention issue with nurses. That is an issue the department continues to look at. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am not sure I got the answer. Is the Minister suggesting that nurses are treated differently than other GNWT employees?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. They currently abide by all the current government staff housing policies, Mr. Chairman. They are not treated separately, unless there is a circumstance where they are living in the health centre, an attached residence, where there is a certain accommodation made because they are living right where they work, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.
