Allocation of Public Housing Units

Joan Pratchler: — Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’ve raised the matter of my constituency on the floor of this Assembly before. Seniors are being evicted from their homes. A grandma is being evicted for being a grandma. There’s no way a minister needs her one-bedroom apartment to make room for a family, and she’s still very, very worried about it. It’s a heartless policy, and it makes no sense.

Has the minister reassessed this cruel policy? Or will he continue to evict grandmas and grandpas out of housing simply for being senior citizens?

Hon. Terry Jenson: — Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And, Mr. Speaker, the Saskatchewan Housing Corporation is working with Regina Housing Authority. You know, we have 240 housing authorities right around this province, and we work with each and every one of them to make sure that we have the proper balance of housing options available to individuals, to seniors, to families.

Mr. Speaker, this is something that the Saskatchewan Housing Corporation is going to work with the Regina Housing Authority on to examine the policies going forward. And at this time, as minister I’ve made it known to the Saskatchewan Housing Corporation and the Regina Housing Authority that nobody is going to be moving right now. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
