Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would be happy to check with the rentals officer to see if there has been any uptake in the number of applications and what is seen as driving them.
In terms of access, Mr. Chairman, when we took on the program from the Housing Corporation, our commitment was we wouldn't change any of the rules for access over what the policies were from the Housing Corporation. We have maintained that. There have been absolutely no changes in the rules over what the policies were for the NWT Housing Corporation. We have found some LHOs that weren't enforcing the policies in place with the Housing Corporation and that may have led to some of the issues.
The policies that we were given by the Housing Corporation are exactly what are being followed right now and we are prepared to put that through an audit. We haven't changed the policies at all.
In terms of that, there are issues that Members find, for instance I had a Member come to me and tell me that in one of their communities in their constituency there were a significant number of problems. We had staff go to that community for a full week along with the staff of the Housing Corporation and do an audit of all the files for the previous year to find out where the problems might have come from, spend some time with members of the community explaining the policies behind the program and how it works. We are prepared to resolve the differences or the challenges where we find the challenges. So if Members have issues, if you bring them to either myself or to the Minister responsible for the Housing Corporation, together we will follow up on that. But I need specifics. So where do you see an issue? I don't think it's something we can talk about in the House here because I need to know the specifics of an issue and I will make sure we follow up on it. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
