Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The department can correct me if I am wrong in asking this question in this division, but I think this is okay. The description says this division is also responsible for the assessment of all land and improvements in the Northwest Territories. My question is relative to the mandate document item 3.1.2 where we state, "We will support community-based planning to help make land available for the construction of affordable housing."
In my former political life as a councillor for the city of Yellowknife, I know that the city had made an application to the department for a greater land application, in fact, for this purpose, to make more land available so that the city can do better long-term planning, in most part to support affordable housing. I wonder if the department can maybe provide some explanation as to why, to date, the greater land applications for the capital city do not pass and that the city is in fact in a position where they have to continually apply for piecemealed properties or piecemeal pieces of land on an as-and-when basis, rather than accepting the greater land applications. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
