Mahsi, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I would like to focus on the arrears that we're faced with, the $6 million figure that's been thrown around in our report and during our committee discussion. The Premier's opening remarks touch on a federal northern housing trust or affordable housing initiative, public housing rental subsidies, $32 million for 168 dwellings, 71 public housing
replacements and 97 homeownership units. These are all great initiatives that are coming forward, but at the same time there are huge arrears here that I think we, as a government, need to focus on. There's $6 million owing on arrears through the Housing Corporation. As I understand it correctly, the breakdown is about a third in my riding that's owing in that amount. We talked at length in the Social Programs committee about how we want the government to pursue this avenue. It's a huge arrears and it has a huge impact on certain individuals that do owe money for various reasons. So I would like to ask the Minister with respect to the $6 million in arrears, Mr. Chair, why are these arrears growing so rapidly? The Minister did say that his department is aware of it, when another Member asked about the arrears. Has the department met with these clients that owe money, a substantial amount of money, at the community, and develop an understanding between the client and the Housing Corporation? Was there or are there arrangements made between the parties to deal and resolve these issues of outstanding issues? That's my first question, Mr. Chair.
