Mr. Speaker, one of the biggest concerns I heard from homeowners is that programs seem to be restricting them from accessing these programs because they previously applied for a program in the past or they had a half-house at some point in their life.
So I’d like to ask the Minister: have you looked at the restrictions that have been applied to these programs in small communities where people may have had a half-house 20 years ago? They no longer have it. They became a resident of the N.W.T. Housing Corporation in social housing. And now they’re trying to get back into home ownership, but that’s held against them.
So I’d like to ask the Minister: can you look at the possibility of taking down some of these
restrictions? Realistically these people don’t technically own a home. They might have owned it 20 years ago, but they no longer own it anymore. But yet they’re being restricted from accessing these programs because of the guidelines that are being used and the way it’s being interpreted. So would you consider looking at that?
