Mr. Speaker, I have been informed that agreements between the NWT Housing Corporation and CMHC for both capital and ongoing maintenance costs are partnership agreements that have been in place for many years and will continue for up to 40
more years until there is mutual agreement to change. To answer the Member's question further, I do not believe CMHC has simply and unilaterally made the changes that they outlined, so I've asked the NWT Housing Corporation to seek a formal legal opinion on the existing social housing agreements.
