Mr. Chairman, we have a policy in the government where we will buy back a government employee's house if they will purchase a house in the community. The reason for having this policy is to encourage employees to buy. When we buy it back, we buy it back at a market value. We put it back on the market at market value. If someone in the community wanted to buy the house, there would be no need for us to buy it back. They could purchase it.

If we buy the house, we want to get our money back out of it, but if the house is surplus to our needs and it's sitting there empty but we own it, then certainly we would consider making it available for rent to someone else. If the hamlet/band council want to buy back the unit rather than us, we would be pleased to do that.
