Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are for the Minister of the NWT Housing Corporation, Mr. David Krutko. In my Member's statement today, Mr. Speaker, I talked about the real challenges of northerners living in their own homes and living in rented homes, and the cost of living and how they struggle to address that cost of living. I don't know exactly what would be the best vehicle for delivering a program that could assist with making homes more energy efficient, but I have not been too impressed with what I've seen so far in terms of tangible efforts on behalf of this government.
Right now under the NWT Housing Corporation there's funding available for emergency home repairs, seniors' home repairs, so it's something that's along those same lines. It would not be grants, but even if residents could get interest-free loans that they could pay back over a period of time, they would recover the cost of the money they would invest by the savings in their homes. It could be for a fairly short list of improvements. It could be siding; it could be insulation; it could be new windows; it could be a pellet stove, a wood stove; something that would make their cost of living more affordable. Is this something that the NWT Housing Corporation has even contemplated and would there be anything that would preclude the Housing Corporation from undertaking such a program? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
