Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of the NWT Housing Corporation. It is my understanding that when this government goes into the communities to build HAP houses, public houses or social housing, this government will use local people qualified from the community to provide labour services. The Minister, yesterday, stated that "it is not the practice of the NWT Housing Corporation to hire from out of town, if there are local people who are qualified and able to work." How does the Minister's department monitor contracts in the communities to ensure that this practice is, in fact, adhered to?
