My question is to the Minister Responsible for the Housing Corporation, Mr. Miltenberger, in regard to the new housing program initiatives that have been put out by way of CARE, HELP, PATH and also STEP.
It’s important, as a government, that when we put programs out, we also keep track of their progress and, more importantly, have a reporting mechanism back to the Legislative Assembly and the people of the Northwest Territories — and more importantly, work with the clients that we are trying to assist.
One thing that I find is that there are a lot of problems in regard to communication with this
program, especially feedback to our constituents who are trying to access these programs.
I'd like to ask the Minister: is there a reporting mechanism to himself, through the MLA or back to the particular constituents, so that we can track these programs, so that people aren't waiting a year later to hear back from your department? What are you doing to improve the dialogue and cut down on timelines in responding to our constituents?
