Mr. Premier. I heard three questions, so basically all the supplementaries have been used up, plus one.

Mr. Speaker, first of all, will I speak further to Mr. Zoe? Yes, I will want to seek clarification on what it is he intends to do in terms of seeking help. When you ask is he taking treatment, I am not sure whether you are asking if he is taking treatment in the conventional sense of going to an alcohol treatment centre or whether he's using an alternative, but those are things that are choices that Mr. Zoe has to make himself. I am sure there are many ways of getting help for the difficulties that Mr. Zoe has acknowledged. In terms of reporting back to the House and laying out Mr. Zoe's personal intentions, that seems to me to be something that Mr. Zoe should make a decision on himself. I have confidence in talking with Members. I am open to sharing information, but in terms of laying out personal plans, treatment or help, that is not something that I feel is my responsibility to make public. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Item 7, oral questions. Item 8, written questions. Item 9, returns to written questions. Mr. McLeod.

Mr. Speaker, I have a return to written question asked by Mr. Allen on March 31st regarding rent assessment for seniors in public housing.

The Member asked a question about a proposal on a flat rate rent scale. Mr. Speaker, a flat rate rent sale would involve the assessment of rents for seniors. Under the current system, seniors are not charged rent. However, seniors do make partial payments for power for their units. The Member also enquired as to whether it would be a major policy shift to begin charging rents to seniors. Mr. Speaker, this would be a major policy shift to reintroduce rent to seniors. A previous government made a policy decision to cease charging rent to seniors living in public housing. At this time, there is no contemplation of another policy change.

Further, Mr. Speaker, I wish to reassure the Members of this House that no major policy shifts will occur in the public housing rent scale without adequate consultation with Members and with all stakeholders. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
