Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to direct my questions to the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment, regarding some of the comments he has made publicly and in the media about government employees or teachers, suggesting that they should be willing to share housing and pay fair market rent. I have been contacted by many people in the communities who took offence to these comments and they were asking for some explanation. Of course, Mr. Speaker, I do not have that information. We are assuming that the Minister is quite familiar with the housing needs in the communities and he must have taken an analysis of the situation to make those types of comments. So I would like to ask him if he could explain to this House and to the people of the Northwest Territories, more specifically to the teachers, what he has based his comments on? Has he done studies? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
