Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions today are for the Minister of the NWT Housing Corporation.
Yesterday, the Minister responsible for the Housing Corporation said that on April 1st, 2020, the Housing Corporation amended its construction contracts to require general contractors to support at least one northern apprentice on work assignments for the duration of the construction project.
The Minister identified 33 new apprentices working on assignments to date. This is great news, Mr. Speaker, and I'm wondering if the Minister can speak to how they are monitoring general contractors, what the reporting requirements are, and what are the consequences for not hiring a local apprentice on a project? Thank you.
