Thank you. Bill 12 is now ready for third reading. I would like to thank you, committee, Mr. Minister and your officials who are here with us. Mahsi.

Thank you, committee. We will just give the officials a few minutes to clear out and we will proceed with Bill 11.

Thank you, committee. I would like to now ask the Minister responsible for Bill 11 if he would now like to introduce Bill 11, Miscellaneous Statutes Amendment Act, 2007. Mr. Bell.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I just have one final question. It gets back to the committee the Minister was talking about with the Housing Corporation and ECE to listen to complaints or talk about complaints and how they are dealt with. I would like to ask the Minister if there is any opportunity for that committee to report back to the Members of this House on what complaints they are hearing and how they are dealing with them in an effort to try to examine how this program is being delivered? Thank you.

Thank you, Minister Roland. Committee, we are on clause 17 on page 17. Clause 17.

Clause 44.

Thank you, Minister Roland. Anything further, Mr. Yakeleya?

Page 21, clause 27.

Thank you very much, committee. Does committee agree to Bill 12 as a whole?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In addition to the clients being impacted by what would seem to me poor delivery of service, also the housing authorities out there are being impacted because of ECE’s inability to calculate the subsidies in a timely fashion which in turn leads them to have some cash flow problems down the road in addressing fixing up units. I would like to ask the Minister if he has gotten any feedback from housing authorities in the Northwest Territories on the inability of ECE to accurately and timely get those assessments done. Thank you.
