Mr. Speaker, I would like to think the motivation for these folks is to be able to stay in their own homes. It is something that we are working on. I have told the Member that this is an option we are seriously looking at.
Part of the problem, as we all know in this Assembly and the Assemblies before, the collection of arrears becomes very politically sensitive. Everybody says you should collect the arrears and then when you try to put the process in place to collect on arrears, all the Members start getting phone calls. So it’s one that we are pursuing. I can assure the Member that it’s not one that we’re just letting go by. We are pursuing this and we have looked at options. The Member said it correctly, we’ve had people complaining about a tenant with a $50,000 truck sitting outside their house and they’re in arrears and this person has got an old, beat up GM, but they’re paying their rent faithfully every month. So it’s situations like those we want to have
a look at. If reporting it to the credit bureau will motivate a few individuals to start clearing up their arrears is something that as a corporation we are seriously looking at. Thank you.
