Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and thank you to the Member. It's quite an important question to be asking because we are under our policy review right now, and we're looking at a submission and a technical briefing to standing committee as well.
The process for the evictions are very lengthy. We do have to work with the Residential Tenancy Act as well too for the Northwest Territories. The local housing authority, the board of directors, they do have the authority to be working with these clients. We do practice the last chance agreement providing advice and counselling to the tenants as well. And also repayment loans.
What I've gathered for the department as well is that preferably when we are exercising evictions that it's through the last chance agreement, and it's the last chance resort that we actually do have, and we try our best to counsel the tenants to try to keep them in our units. But unfortunately, we do get to a point where we have to really think about the health and safety of our tenants as well. Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.
