Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just wanted to follow up on my colleague Mr. Menicoche’s comment on the housing for staff. I am also very happy to see this in the budget and I am looking forward to the plan for how this will be administered, the strategy for allocation, in a way that will maximize the benefit from it. I am wondering, do we have a target, a number of homes or houses that we are trying to support with this amount yet. Thank you.

Perhaps we can get that confirmed. I am wondering also on the one new unit indicated for Dettah and Ndilo, if we have a land tenure figured out for that unit. There are two questions. Thank you.

Again, just so I really understand this concept, is that a rating on one measure for the three combined aspects of equitability, no, sorry, equity, suitability, and affordability? Is it a measure of that and is 42 percent...Are we looking to get to 100 percent or to zero?

So the Education, Culture and Employment is the difference between the amount of rent that’s assessed to the client that’s collected, like the $5 million or whatever it is, and the maximum rent. The difference comes from ECE if the client’s go down there and file their income. Is that correct? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I also disagree with the use of laptops in committees and I will be voting against this motion. Thank you.

Thank you, I can certainly understand but, of course, without dealing with it in a more effective and creative way, you are losing your motivation to be effective and efficient and achieve some of those long-term energy or cost reductions. So, maybe just as a comment, I am hoping that some more thinking goes into that so that people don’t get penalized for being efficient and lose the benefits we are hoping to accumulate. I will leave it at that. Thank you.

I was particularly asking about this department’s perspective. I’m sure the government will once again follow the developer’s perspective and get rid of any environmental protection such as is offered by this act for these small streams. I’d be very interested in the department’s perspective as well as this government’s perspective. Will the Minister commit to providing that? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I want to follow up on the land tenure question specifically with respect to Dettah and Ndilo and just find out if the third-party entity approach that the Minister had mentioned was actually being put in place for those communities. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. Mr. Menicoche.

Thank you, Mr. Jacobson. Next on the list I have Mr. Beaulieu.
