Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have had an opportunity to talk to local housing authority employees right across the Territories. The majority of them are not comfortable with this. They don't understand this. Their training was fraught with difficulty and challenges that the Housing Corporation did not meet. Now we know income is going to be assessed on a month-to-month basis. How do you expect a person living in public housing to even plan for the future when you know if he makes an extra $200, his rent for the next month is going to be different? How do you provide for a healthy sustainable community and society with those kinds of policies? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
