Thank you very, Mr. Speaker. I’d like to ask my questions of the Minister responsible for the NWT Housing Corporation. The other week we had a big debate over housing. It was about turning the ECE programming back to the Housing Corporation. But also, more importantly, Mr. Speaker, as in my Member’s statement, the most important thing, I believe, is for our Housing Corporation to deliver housing to our people.
This income threshold limit that I spoke about in my Member’s statement is becoming quite a barrier. The threshold is so tight between the low income and the high income that no one is being approved at all. Consequently, we have many, many empty houses in our communities. Also, throughout our debate I think we mentioned and we spoke with the
Minister about his willingness to look at that guideline, to look at that policy and to see if it can be changed as soon as possible. I’m hoping that the commitment is there that he can do something by April 1st , Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
