Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I would like to follow up on a question asked earlier by Mr. McLeod. My concern, especially with the harmonization and the direction that the NWT Housing Corporation seems to be going, is we have to realize that the whole idea of housing the Northwest Territories was based on social housing.

I think the word social should basically give you some idea that it was based on the social dependency on the Government of the Northwest Territories to provide services to the people of the Northwest Territories because of the high cost of living and the social conditions people lived in, in the Northwest Territories.

I have a real problem when we hear about people being evicted or people being told that they have to either find employment, get a job or whatever, and then we turn around and take 25 or 30 percent of their wages. Or if we find out that they are making too much, we tell them to go and find housing elsewhere.

My question to the Minister is, where is the whole idea of social housing in the NWT Housing Corporation, knowing that the Housing Corporation was developed through CMHC to provide social housing to the residents of the Northwest Territories?
