Why do rents have to be increased? Is it because expenses are higher?

Communications Officer, Kativik Municipal Housing Bureau

Marie-Christine Vanier

In fact, all of the houses are managed by the SHQ, and so it is the government that requires these rent increases every year.

The Chair Liberal Bryan May

That was quick. Thank you. I appreciate it.

I want to thank the witnesses here today.

Thank you very much for coming down and meeting with us. As we said at the beginning, it was heartbreaking not to be able to visit you up north, but who knows what the future will bring? We will jump at the opportunity—though maybe not in February—to get up there at some point.

For the record, I just want to remind folks that we are travelling to Toronto for Friday and will be having the last witnesses and site tours there for this study. Also, I will just remind you that we will not be meeting on Thursday of this week. That meeting is not going to occur.

Thank you all very much. Thank you to everyone who made today possible. I think we are ending with two minutes to spare. That's fantastic. Thank you, everybody.

The meeting is adjourned.
