Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Regarding the whole question of only doing for one community, I do not believe I am speaking only for one community. We have the same problem in Fort MacPherson and also in Arctic Red. I believe, this problem arises in other small communities, not only the ones I represent. So, I would like to ask the Minister, who determines what is reasonable in regard to the context of who makes that final decision?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the department came up with the formula in consultation with communities which had run the projects. The Members of the House will probably remember, we ran 11 pilot projects where we used community agencies to deliver the project before we offered the contracting out, or local empowerment option, to all other communities across the territories. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Can the Minister tell me what will to take to do another review. In context of the program being basically in its first year, could we somehow see exactly where the problem areas are in doing another indepth review of how the programs are running today?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. That sort of review is an ongoing part of the process. We are quite prepared to work with communities and discuss whether or not changes need to be made to programs, to make sure that they are delivered adequately. I do think that in the case the Member is referring to, it is essential that if there is a problem right now, the community needs to discuss that with the regional office. The additional functions that seem to be causing the problems were ones that were negotiated with the regional office. They are not part of the Income Support Program per se. They are not part of the one FTE for 2,000

cases per year. The additional funding that has been received is for counselling and other support, which appears to be the problem. Any problems need to be discussed between the community and the regional office. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In regard to the Minister's last comments of recognizing there is a problem and how the regional offices are delivering this program, could the Minister file a report in this House regarding the review and how exactly the program is running once the review takes place and file a report in this House on the review of the Income Support Program?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would be happy to provide the House with a report on how the program is working. I want to make it clear that no group has been hired to do a formal report on this program. The review is an ongoing process that is done in concert with communities as the program is administered. Yes, I would be happy to file something in this House.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I do know that in conversations with the president of the NWTTA, there has been mention of the concern of the cost of housing and how the association believes this concern in some communities is leading to problems with morale among teachers. I am not aware of any problems where teachers are unable to find housing in a community. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, on an individual case by case basis as the department becomes aware of a problem in a community, we will work with the FMBS to try and address that problem. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I believe I have already answered the question. We are looking at it on an individual basis. The Department of Education has no mandate to initiate a policy to provide housing. It would be a staff housing issue that the government would take a look at. As the Member is aware, it is our policy to get out of staff housing. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
