Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And thank you to the Member for the question as well too.
When we were looking at the 90-unit delivery throughout the Northwest Territories and looking at our repairs as well, I wanted to make sure that we did have opportunity for smaller communities and employment. So just to answer the Member's questions that she had asked, the requirement to provide an apprentice work assignment applies to the Housing Corporation's new construction contracts. So in all of our contracts, there is a requirement that they have to hire local and we need to include an apprentice as well too. The contractor is required under this term of the contract to report all labour content, including apprentices, to the Housing Corporation as part of their interim progress payment request, providing an apprentice work assignment, it is a contractual requirement, and if not satisfied, the contractor could be deemed in breach of the contract. To date, I am pleased to advise that the Housing Corporation has not seen these issues. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
