Mr. Speaker, again, Mr. Speaker, we have not made a decision to basically have seniors in public housing pay rent at this time. But the reason I'm saying at this time is because presently we are doing a review in regards to the income security review that's going on in the programs we have in the Northwest Territories. Right now there's about $100 million that's being given out by way of some subsidy or another. Again, right now those dollars are being allocated to the Department of Education, Culture and Employment in which we're going to ensure that we have a system in place that is fair to all residents of the Northwest Territories, from people who live in social housing to people who are in their own private residence. We are going to be doing that through the social review or income social review that's taking place. So again, the review is taking place, we are informing our residents and, more importantly, that there has been no decision to change the policy for seniors who live in public housing to pay rent. Thank you.
