We originally discussed the role of having a person within the Housing Corporation back in February. My next question was going to be: is this person hired? I am a little bit disappointed to hear that this person isn't on the ground yet because it's someone who could have been spending the last six months during COVID really getting projects up and running so that we could get Northerners working on building homes for Northerners.
I have the answer to my next question, but I really think it's important that the Housing Corporation fast-track this role because we need somebody in that role to not only talk to people about the co-investment fund but really be a champion for the co-investment fund and also be an advocate on the ground, actually connecting programs between government departments. That leads me to my next question, which is: what will this person be empowered to do in order to connect programs within the GNWT and also by connecting levels of government? I want to better understand how this person is going to make sure that these dollars get spent.
