Mr. Speaker, the information that I have is for social housing, the waiting period for a non-resident or new resident to the Territories is a year, and to be considered for home ownership programs you have to be a NWT resident for five years.

Thank you Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Premier. I understand that the government has been working on or was at one time, considering a southern communication strategy, and I wonder if the Premier could elaborate on that.

Thank you Mr. Speaker. That is correct, we are looking at a communications strategy for the north as well as a communications strategy to make sure that people in southern Canada know what is happening in the Northwest Territories, what the north has to offer and such things. So we are developing that and I have committed to Members of Caucus that we will hopefully have that completed by the end of November. Thank you.

Thank you Mr. Speaker. I wonder if the Premier could tell us who he is considering to develop this communication strategy. Is it an outside firm, a private firm in other words, or is this being done within government?

Thank you Mr. Speaker. As the member is aware a communication strategy has many portions to it, and presently the responsibility for developing a communication strategy lies with Press Secretary, Government of the Northwest Territories. Thank you.

Question 505-13(3): Contributions Of Business Development Fund

Roy Erasmus Yellowknife North

Thank you Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister responsible for Resources, Wildlife, and Economic Development. In relation to his statement on the Business Development Fund, I am pleased to see, Mr. Speaker, that we are still committed to assisting the private sector and to helping business enterprise grow and prosper during these difficult times. However, we all know that we do not have a bottomless pit of money and I feel that the output of our money should be related to job creation. I would like to know how many of these contributions are going to require ongoing funding?
