Thank you, Mr. Chair. My first question is about an Anti-Poverty Strategy in the Northwest Territories. I know that the three candidates did touch on it, but I was wondering if I could just dig into a little bit more detail.
Without question, it’s going to take everyone to help break the cycle of poverty in the Northwest
Territories: the federal government, the Aboriginal governments, community governments, territorial government, social advocates, NGOs, as well as business. An effective Anti-Poverty Strategy must address housing, health care, education and the economy.
I’m wondering if I can get each of the candidates to tell me what they’re going to do specifically, and with some detail what they’re going to do as Premier to combat anti-poverty in the Northwest Territories. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
