Question 239-13(3): Status Of Federal Private Member's Bill C-222  Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Committee Motion 15-13(3): To Suspend Application Of The Business Incentive Policy  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just to be informed here, how many employees does the Housing Corporation have?

Committee Motion 15-13(3): To Suspend Application Of The Business Incentive Policy  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I guess this would apply to all the numbers we have here on capital. Was there an average per unit being built, a dollar figure attached per unit, and is that how you came about your numbers?

Committee Motion 15-13(3): To Suspend Application Of The Business Incentive Policy  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Can the Minister tell me how many units this will build?

Committee Motion 15-13(3): To Suspend Application Of The Business Incentive Policy  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My question in this area is that there's a reduction. I take it that this is to the LHOs. Is there an equal percentage across the board to all LHOs?

Committee Motion 15-13(3): To Suspend Application Of The Business Incentive Policy  Yes.

Committee Motion 15-13(3): To Suspend Application Of The Business Incentive Policy  Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Committee Motion 15-13(3): To Suspend Application Of The Business Incentive Policy  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Are these new vehicles additional to the fleet, or are they replacement?

Committee Motion 15-13(3): To Suspend Application Of The Business Incentive Policy  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Are these replacement vehicles or new to the fleet?

Committee Motion 15-13(3): To Suspend Application Of The Business Incentive Policy  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. On this equipment, how many vehicles is this purchasing?

Committee Motion 15-13(3): To Suspend Application Of The Business Incentive Policy  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We heard earlier on the other privatization areas where there was a concern of fairness in the process of privatization if it goes out to tender -- as Mr. Picco would say, fairity. But in a small community where you have maybe one operation, you mentioned

Committee Motion 15-13(3): To Suspend Application Of The Business Incentive Policy  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Would the department have any back-up plan if the privatization goes ahead and the cost of maintenance and repairs to the existing equipment goes above and beyond the contract that is stated. Is there a back-up plan there, or do you just park vehicles?

Committee Motion 15-13(3): To Suspend Application Of The Business Incentive Policy  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I was notified when I was elected that I had no position left with the government. --- Laughter Thank you very much. So it isn't covered in this business plan.
