A house fit for an MLA Casey Lessard Northern News Services Published Monday, March 5, 2012
"It's temporary," he said, noting he has since found a longer-term lease. "I'm moving April 1, I hope, to another temporary place, and that's excellent." Enook moved to Pond Inlet to fulfill a Sept. 12 byelection promise that his riding would be represented by someone who lived in the hamlet. He and his wife lived in a shack for a few weeks between his arrival in the hamlet Nov. 3 and moving into the Parks Canada home. Enook was the subject of discussion in November after he approached the housing association, which deals with public housing, because he couldn't find any available home in Pond Inlet other than the shack. With earnings in excess of the upper limit of $85,000 to qualify for housing, Enook's only option was to lease privately. "I am leasing privately and I will be leasing again privately," he told Nunavut News/North. "The other one should be good for a year, or to such a time as they give me 30 days notice."
