Thank you, Mr. Chairman. So to go back to some of the questions that I asked previously, I asked the Minister specifically what they’re doing for the people who are hard to house. My question was if not social housing and if not the support of someone or an agency such as the NWT Housing Corporation, then who would be possibly taking these tenants on as clients? The Minister mentioned that they fund NGOs, and I’d like to ask the Minister are the NGOs that they fund -- and I assume he means related to housing and hard to house folks -- are any of them located outside of Yellowknife? Thank...

Thank you, Mr. Menicoche. We will take that as a comment, so we don’t need to have the Minister answer any questions on that. Next on the list is Mr. McLeod.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. One last question. Would the Minister be prepared to not only put in place a policy that would try to restrict the bringing of things that children are particularly allergic to into the schools, but also some type of a medical emergency response awareness within the school itself, because quite often these situations require immediate attention. It would not hurt for the educators to be aware of such responses. Would he go as far as to commit to doing that? Thank you.

The last lease entered into in 1998, Mr. Chairman, doesn’t mean anything. Maybe there was one entered into in 1995 that was for 20 years. We’ve all seen the chart. I mean, that’s not the point when the last rent supp…I know rent supp was kind of the flavour of the day for a while, and of course there haven’t been any just lately, but I’m talking about the ones that were entered into that were 20-year contracts based on five-year renewal periods. That’s what I’m talking about. Have any of those five-year terms been signed on in the last two months? Thank you.
