A couple questions on the local housing organizations in terms of the collections. Again, it’s been brought up by several Members that when the LHOs were in the old system, they were pretty successful at collecting rents and when they moved into the new system under the Education, Culture and Employment, the collection percentage went down quite considerably. I’m not too sure what the trend is now in terms of the collections. I say this because with the percentage of collections that go down from the local housing authority, that has an impact on their funding in terms of a surplus or a deficit and it hurts the community. I guess I’m trying to figure out something that is hurting our local housing authority in terms of the programs they are supposed to be providing for the communities. That’s a real issue for me and that’s an issue for my local housing authority in the Sahtu and they brought it up as an issue they wanted me to raise with the Minister.
