What this Minister is doing is working with Social Programs committee and getting some feedback from them. This Minister is providing direction and leadership to the

NWT Housing Corporation as to how we can distribute our resources equally across the Northwest Territories, and also trying to work with the federal government to ask them about our CMHC declining funding because that’s affecting our ability to put new houses on the ground. We are fortunate that this Assembly stepped up to the plate during the last O and M budget and gave Housing an additional $1.2 million to replace some of the money that we are losing from CMHC.

We continue to try to be innovative, try to get as many units on the ground as possible. I’m just trying to pull up the exact numbers and I should have them here shortly. Thank you.
