Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, during our pre-budget consultation, discussion on the high cost of living has been a huge issue during our tour. Mr. Speaker, my question today is to the Minister responsible for the Housing Corporation, who is responsible for social housing. I would like to focus on the hardship that the current rents impose on my constituents in saving for a down payment, or just getting ahead in life. Mr. Speaker, some are paying upwards of $1,400 a month and working half-time jobs. Mr. Speaker, can the Minister responsible for the NWT Housing Corporation tell this Assembly how the rent scale for social housing is determined? Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.
