Thank you, Mr. Chairman. During the Reply to the Budget Address I had indicated that I was concerned about the lack of adequate housing for nurses and teaching staff. This is a very grave concern. If we cannot ensure staff that they are going to have some place to live, I do not think we can really blame anybody but ourselves if we cannot hang onto staff or if we have a hard time getting people to come up here and work in our schools or our nursing stations in the smaller communities. I would like to know if the Minister has, just prior to that, I know that when the sale of staff units has been contemplated we were told that wherever there were problems with people getting housing and that type of thing, this would be dealt with by this government. What I would like to know is how is this government dealing with the lack of staff housing for our teachers and nurses in the communities? Thank you.
