(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Chairman. First of all, regarding the local housing boards, my response will be to the first question. Concerning the other question regarding emergency exits, I will leave that up to Mr. Murray to respond to. The local housing boards within the communities are elected members. As to the authority and powers that they can exercise, it is always in relation to the desires and the responsibilities that the board wishes to take. They have that discretion. If they feel their powers are fine and well, it would give the impression that the secretary manager has the power and the authority when, in fact, the boards are delegated with certain powers and they, in turn, delegate the administration of those duties and responsibilities to their secretary manager. They are also the deciders on the selection process for who gets the units. The boards make decisions on the selection of applicants as to who gets what unit and who qualifies for HAP and other home ownership programs. If they are advised as to housing needs, the housing board also has the authority to act on those recommendations.
The impression might be, in some communities, that the housing boards are very powerless in relation to concerns and issues about rental assessments, rental increases and rental scales. Whether people complain about the cost of their rent, technically they have to follow the rules of the law whereby they do not really have the authority to adjust rents because it is accordingly applied according to the rules. In areas where there are evictions, the housing boards, whether they are associations or authorities, once they have been given notice of an eviction, there are usually no other appeal processes aside from the housing board's decision. Outside of these issues, they do have power. I will let Mr. Murray respond to the second question regarding one exit unit that the Member is concerned about as possible fire traps. (Translation ends)
