Wendy Bisaro

Frame Lake

Mr. Speaker, I’d like to follow up on my Member’s statement with some questions for the Minister of Justice.

Considering the very tight rental market in Yellowknife at the moment and considering the rent increases that many of my constituents are facing, can the Minister advise if the proposed amendments to the Residential Tenancies Act will address the issue of limiting rent increases?

Speaker: Mr. Speaker

I am going to rule that question out of order. That is on the order paper for today as legislation.

Interjection.

Speaker: Mr. Speaker

Oral questions. The honourable Member for Tu Nedhe, Mr. Beaulieu.
