Paulie Chinna Sahtu

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I can provide those further details to the Member. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Jane Weyallon Armstrong Monfwi

[Translation] Also we'd like to know which locations these housing are going to. We know that there's a lot of shortage of housing in the communities. They did allocate ten houses. I'm sure it's not only from Behchoko. Whati, Gameti, Wekweeti also need -- are in need of housing. I'd like to know the locations and also what kind of houses, how big of a house are they getting? Are they getting prefab or trailers? What type of housing is it? Thank you.

Paulie Chinna Sahtu

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Member is correct, we have units going into the Member's riding but they're not only specific to Behchoko. They're throughout the surrounding communities as well too. But with those specific details of the size of the units, what type of units, land tenure, I will follow up with the Member. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Jane Weyallon Armstrong Monfwi

I said all the four communities needs housing. And I want -- we would like to know where, because the Tlicho region would like to know if they're going to be getting a house, Whati, Gameti, or Wekweeti as well. And does the Minister have a plan in place to increase the number of houses in Tlicho region for homeownership program? Thank you.

Paulie Chinna Sahtu

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Right now, we have all of the single family housing units, public housing units that are up for sale right now. We have been corresponding and working with those tenants that may be interested in acquiring homeownership for their units. And right now, specifically, we don't have any new homeownership units going into the communities. What we are building are duplexes, three - fourplexes into the smaller communities. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Minister. Final supplementary, Member for Monfwi.

Jane Weyallon Armstrong Monfwi

Thank you. Okay, I'll do it in English, okay. Minister said that -- the Minister said they had -- she has an agreement in place with Tlicho government, with the working group. So can the Minister update and when was the last time she -- they met with Tlicho government working group? Thank you.

Paulie Chinna Sahtu

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We are working towards an MOU with the Tlicho working group. I'm not too sure on the specific date that we have met last. But we do also have our engagements with the Indigenous groups as well, the Council of Leaders. So we actually just met with them, I want to say, two weeks ago. But then I will follow up with the Member on a specific date of when we had last met with the Tlicho solely. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
