Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, much like the conflict in the Middle East, in the Northwest Territories there is a catch-22 situation that happens with the local housing authority's policy and the issue of adequacy in housing conditions. A lot of people in the Northwest Territories in public housing complain about the adequacy of the houses and therefore are not paying the rents that are required of them when they are in public housing. Now at the local level there are policies in place that say that if you do not pay your bills we will not provide you with suitable housing in terms of the number of people in houses.

What is the Minister going to do in those situations where there is a conflict, a catch-22 situation where people say, "We will not pay you rent because the house is not adequate," and the local housing authority says, "We are not going to provide you with a four-bedroom unit when you need four bedrooms and you are in a two-bedroom unit now because you are not paying the rent." What wins out, the mandate or the local housing authority policy? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
