That’s quite a considerable amount of money that’s declining. I want to tie this into the core needs housing survey that was done in 2009. Some of the high communities in the number were my area. Listening to the Minister, I was hoping we could match some of the funding that would address some of the core needs in the Northwest Territories. I’m hoping what the Minister’s wishes were if we were to do another survey, I hope to see the numbers come down. That’s what I’m hoping for. I know that won’t happen within the life of this Assembly, again, to do another needs survey.
With this in mind here, the houses that I know that the inadequacy, suitability and affordability is really high in my region. With the decline of the funding, by the year 2038 the funding should be zero from the federal government. Of course, between now and then, other things could happen. I want to ask the Minister about addressing the needs in the Sahtu, because I know the previous core needs survey was supposed to look at that high number and when we did the one in 2009 it was still the highest, close to Nahendeh.
Are we putting enough funding, I guess, to meet the needs to drop the core needs of my region? That’s what I want to ask.
