Thank you, Mr. Martin. Mr. Thompson.

Thanks to the Minister to provide that list. As I was writing it, I could not hear the whole thing, so if we can get the Minister to provide that information to us, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Thompson. Minister Cochrane, supply the question?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, we will get that information to the Regular Members tomorrow. I do want to clarify, I do recognize that you do need a Journeyman to teach apprenticeships. When I was talking about that, I meant only apprentices, not journeymen, who need to train. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister Cochrane. Mr. Nadli.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just wanted to come to an understanding in terms of the progress of the need towards establishing LHOs, and understand the challenge in terms of moving from home ownership to public housing rental systems in some communities, and more so, too, in my riding.

I just wanted to see if there has been some progress made. I understand there has been the realization that it might make sense to establish an LHO on a reserve, as an example. I just wanted to see if there have been some advances. I know the Minister has stated that she is planning to meet with chief and council from the Hay River Reserve. Is that, perhaps, an item for an agenda to be discussed? Mahsi.

Thank you, Mr. Nadli. Minister Cochrane.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The Northwest Territories Housing Corporation is open to having the band come to us and to talk about the development of a local housing organization on the reserve. We do need the Aboriginal government to approach us on that, and we would be more than willing to look at their proposal. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister Cochrane. Mr. Nadli.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. It is encouraging. The other aspect to this question is again a challenge in terms of administering at least accountable measures of collecting people's rent. Some communities do not have LHOs, and again, I think in Kakisa there has been some movement towards, perhaps, a model of an LHO that could be established, and whether the Minister is maybe waiting upon the initiative of the band to enter into dialogue on that matter. Mahsi.

Thank you, Mr. Nadli. Minister Cochrane.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The issue of actually collecting arrears should no longer be an issue to communities because the Corporation actually took that internally into headquarters a number of years ago. We do not need LHOs to collect arrears at this point anymore. Again, Kakisa is a very small community, but if they wanted to approach us, we would consider it. I can't commit, but I can consider looking at a local housing organization if the need justifies it. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister Cochrane. Mr. Nadli.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I think the other question I wanted to ask is on page 353. It is regarding grants, contributions and transfers, whether that is perhaps the line item that is within the scope of agreements that the Housing Corporation is entering into with the Aboriginal governments?

Thank you, Mr. Nadli. Minister Cochrane.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I do need some clarification. Are we talking about page 353 or 354? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, 353.

Thank you, Mr. Nadli. Minister Cochrane.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The grants and contributions have nothing to do, actually, with the Aboriginal governments. This is actually the 2012 dollars that is for the local housing organizations. That was the surplus, and so, if they have $5 million in surplus, then that $200,000 is coming from the monies provided to local housing organizations. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister Cochrane. Mr. Nadli.

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. I think I will hold off on my other question for the appropriate time. Mahsi.

Thank you, Mr. Nadli. Minister Cochrane.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The MLA said that he would hold off until later on, and so thank you, Mr. Chair.
