Thank you, Madam Speaker. I’ll try to be a little quicker on this one. I’ve already answered this question last week when we talked about other changes that the Members were looking for in the Residential Tenancies Act.
Six recommendations were put forward by the rental officer. We’ve committed to doing an analysis of those recommendations as well as the recommendations to find a hammer, if you will. We will review those. We are going to bring those back to committee in the fall, an opportunity to have a discussion and set some direction on how we want to move forward.
The Member is right; one of the areas that the rental officer wants us to look at is the application of the Residential Tenancies Act on transitional housing. I do have to remind Members and everybody else that there’s always two sides to every opinion and one of the most significant landlords of transitional housing here in the Northwest Territories has discussed this in the past, and at that time they actually recommended not to go forward with this particular provision as it would actually complicate their service providing in their institution. There are both sides to every story. We are going to do the review. We are going to bring it to Members for some decisions.
