Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister responsible for the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation. Mr. Speaker, I understand that in other jurisdictions the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation and the provincial social housing delivery agents have formed committees with native organizations called tripartite management committees as a means of using the input of native organizations to plan and coordinate the delivery of housing.
I also understand that there is no such committee in the Northwest Territories and no formal role for the input of native organizations into the planning of social housing programs. My question to the Minister is, can he confirm that discussions have begun between the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation and the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation regarding the establishment of a tripartite management committee to include aboriginal representation in the planning and delivery of social housing programs?
