Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I hope I was fairly clear that we would take the opportunity at this time to direct our officials to take a look at how we charge rent. We have to recognize the nature of a lot of our clients in our public housing units are on the low income side of the wage scale. More and more of our clients are seasonal workers, therefore the income fluctuates throughout the year. We have to have a system in place that is responsive. The current system has proven that it works. Although it has its problems, as the Member has indicated, it allows for huge spikes when a person goes from not working to finding a job. Again, we will commit to the Member that we will take a look at the system we have in place, and make comments back to the Member.
