Mr. Speaker, I have Return to Written Question 33-16(2) asked by Mr. Bromley on June 18, 2008, regarding GNWT subsidies by community.
Information has been compiled that indicates that the GNWT spent approximately $54
million on
subsidy programs for 2007–08 fiscal year. The subsidy programs include:
The Territorial Power Subsidy program for both residential and commercial customers;
1) Heating oil and gasoline subsidies through the
Petroleum Products Division;
2) Senior’s Fuel Subsidy;
3) Public Housing Rental Subsidy program;
4) Homeownership Repair Program;
5) Homeownership Rental Program;
6) Homeownership Mortgage Program;
7) Non-Government Organizations Mortgage and
Rental Subsidy;
8) Subsidized band council leases;
9) Subsidized occupancy agreement for the Native
Women’s Association.
At the appropriate time, I will table a document that identifies the expenditures incurred on each of these subsidy programs for the 2007–08 fiscal year at the department and community level.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
