Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I thank the Minister for his answer. However, strongly encourage is not very encouraging and reassuring to me. Under the old system that we are diverging from now, a client could apply to build an access home, whereby, I believe the purchasing of materials would be monitored and administered through the NWT Housing Corporations.
It is easy for me to understand how you would direct your own corporation to deal with suppliers, manufacturers, and construction companies. When each individual person will be going out and hiring a contractor and purchasing their own materials for their home, it eludes me what mechanism there is to ensure they support our local northern businesses. Could the Minister please elaborate on such a mechanism? Thank you.
