Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Our relationship with the local housing organization is one of a partnership agreement or management agreement. They lay out the accountabilities and the responsibilities of the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation and the local housing organizations. If there are any issues with the regional offices, the local housing organizations have the option to come to the office of the President to bring those issues forward.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. With regard to the local housing organizations, I have heard a lot from the people in my riding, saying that they are not satisfied with reasons for being evicted or not being able to access a unit. They say that there is no real appeal process in place. You are appealing to the same people who evicted you.
So I am just wondering, has the Minister or the department looked at whether there is a process, at the regional or district area, where people can go to file their complaints? Or is it a grievance between the LHO and say a tenant? Is there such a process?
You know, here in Yellowknife, you have the tenants association and different organizations that help people if there is a dispute between the landlord and the tenants. Does the department has something like that in place? Are you contemplating putting some legislation in for us, so we have some protection for tenants also?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Currently, the Northwest Territories rental officer hears the appeals on evictions between the local housing organizations and the tenants. Also, recently under the harmonization between ourselves and the Department of Education, Culture and Employment, there is a recommendation that the appeal process used for the income support program also be utilized for appealing rental issues in relation to the LHOs.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Do the people within the communities know that they have the right to appeal to the Northwest Territories rental's office? Is it posted in the community? Is there any forum that is used to make the public aware that there is this process? You do have a right to appeal if you are evicted or rejected from applying or requiring a unit?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am not sure of what type of advertising the rental officer uses. However, in order for an individual who is facing an eviction, in order for that process to be carried through, the LHO has to contact the rental officer and an actual hearing is held. At that point, the tenant has an opportunity to put their case forward to the rental officer. Ultimately, they will end up putting their case forward to the rental officer.
