Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I raise the issues of community land tenure and the understanding of how this ensures program qualifications for recipients in my riding.

Mr. Speaker, this calendar year, and more specifically last week, the Department of Lands sponsored community engagements in Fort Good Hope and Tulita. The Department of Municipal and Community Affairs, and Finance will participate to share information on the property, assessment, taxation regimes, collections systems, et cetera. Understanding land tenure ensures benefits to residents and the seniors of the Sahtu for the variety of housing programs.

Mr. Speaker, modernizing our current legislation is a proven and responsible function of land management and administration, and, most importantly, community consultation with stakeholders contributes towards transparency and public engagement. Mr. Speaker, later, I will have questions for the Minister of Lands. Mahsi.
