Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, we shouldn't be compared to other jurisdictions at all. There are jurisdictions where it is common, right across entire provinces, to have 70 per cent employment rates across the provinces. In addition to that, the social housing program is designed for divestment, and it is targeted to divesting in the provinces, which is easy to do. There are many jobs down there. People are able to take over their public housing.
This government is initially trying to divest some units right now, 60 units, in fact, and now we are going to make it even more difficult for people to be able to afford to operate their house. We are going to have people evicted right across the territory if people are asked to pay all of their power.
It is generous to say that people are paying 4 per cent of their income to pay for their rent, but if the 96 per cent that they have left can't afford to feed them, then it's not so generous. At one point, seniors didn't pay anything, and seniors certainly didn't pay for power. That was reversed a few years ago. Seniors are paying. Now we are saying that poor people who are in public housing are now going to start paying power. I don't think this is going to be a good move going forward by the government. Sorry. Thank you, Mr. Chair. That's all I have to say.
