Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have some questions today for the Minister responsible for the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation. I’d like to follow up on the statement he made earlier today. I am pleased to hear of the delay in the application of the renewed rent scale for seniors housing, but I’d like some clarification from the Minister. It’s not really very clear to me. I’d like to ask the Minister what the purpose is of this delay and what is the purpose of the phase-in. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Moses. Mr. Elkin.
Thank you, Ms. DeLancey. Mr. Moses.
Mr. Chair, thanks to the Minister for the information. I appreciate that there are many factors that have to be considered. I’m not one that feels that we should rush into this. That’s why I asked whether or not there are criteria. I’m pleased that criteria will be developed. In my mind, office space and housing are absolutely two of the most major things in terms of moving positions outside of Yellowknife. To the opportunity for committee to provide some input into the criteria that will determine how and when positions would be moved, is there going to be that opportunity and when? Thank you...
Mr. Bromley, could you rephrase your question? Thank you.
Does committee agree we have concluded consideration of the Department of Finance?
