Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The communities of Tu Nedhe-Wiilideh riding have seen significant decrease in housing infrastructure dollars for the 2018-2019 to 2022-2023 budget. As a matter of fact, thank you Nedhe-Wiilideh's receiving only 1 percent of the overall capital budget.
Mr. Speaker, how can we be effective with 1 percent of the capital budget for all four communities in my riding?
Mr. Speaker, as I mentioned before, overall one-third homes in Dettah, N'dilo, Fort Resolution, Lutselk'e are in core need. How can I represent my constituents if the NWT Housing Corporation consistently ignores homeownership and home repair programs in their budgets? It is imperative that a portion of the homeownership and home repair program presented in this main estimate budget specifically address the core need of homes in the Tu Nedhe-Wiilideh riding.
I will have questions for the Minister of Housing or Minister of Finance later today. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
