Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I rise again to speak about my concerns about the territorial government not having a formal policy in dealing with social housing with people with disabilities. Mr. Speaker, I happened to go back to the transcripts and I noted that for some reason that slipped through my fingers during question period, and so I will be raising that concern with much stronger diligence this time.
Mr. Speaker, I had asked the Minister at that time about where our policy is, and I still don't see us having a policy and I'm afraid that got missed. So, Mr. Speaker, I have to compliment the Minister for his willingness to do an audit and I have to say I was whelmed. Mr. Speaker, it is time we get overwhelmed on this side of the government. It's time that we see true willingness. So, Mr. Speaker, I will be pursuing this shameful policy that we live by or, I should say, without having a policy.
Mr. Speaker, the Government of the Northwest Territories could be seen as the king of policy, the king of bureaucracy, but it's time to take a public stand on this issue. It's time to take a public stand where we change our Third World conditions that our people with disabilities are living in and we move forward to the First World conditions. We need a policy, we need a comprehensive booklet that works with national standards, so we need to recognize the conditions that our people are living in and it's time to raise the bar. So, Mr. Speaker, later today I will be asking questions of that Minister. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
