Mr. Chairman, I stated earlier that giving staff housing to communities whether it is to provide housing to teachers or others in the community or if it is being turned into social housing is not a fair allocation. I agree there has not been fairness there. The alternative was to let them sit empty. I have made a commitment to discuss with the Minister responsible for the Housing Corporation. How our policies should be looked at and how they might work together. The Minister for the Housing Corporation has said that a housing needs survey is underway. We will take a look at our policies, take a look at the needs survey and then try and determine the best way to make sure that this government meets the housing needs of its citizens as best we can. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
