Sure. Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, whenever we review the budgets for Housing Northwest Territories, I find that I get very frustrated. And one of the reasons for that is we never have a really good indication of what kind of investment we're making in housing and what specifically we're getting for that, especially when we're talking to residents of the Northwest Territories.
And so one example of that is if you look at the 2023-2024 Capital Estimates, the capital estimates were $35 million, 35 five, and then when you look at the revised estimates, all of a sudden we have 136. And so there was a lot of money that came from somewhere, and that's a really good news story but I, sitting on this of the House, there's no way for people who are reading this document in the public to know where that money came from, how the government got it, did it come from the feds? We're assuming it came from the feds. We don't have an idea if there was federal monies that went directly to Indigenous governments and what housing in the Northwest Territories really looks like and what the investment in housing in the Northwest Territories really looks like. And so it would be really great if, going forward, if there was some kind of a table that could go with these information items as additional information to help kind of paint that full picture of not only investment in the Northwest Territories but what some of these numbers look like.
And if you look back at all of the both main estimate conversations and capital conversations that happen on the floor of this House over a four-year period, a lot of our questions are the same, a lot of the information that we're asking for is the same, and some of those questions, Madam Chair, you even asked today in your Member's statement and in question period, again, today.
So my first question is are we anticipating, in addition to this $13 million, any additional influxes of funding for housing from either the feds, or somewhere else, for the Northwest Territories because $13 million is not going to help us solve what we, up until, you know, our wildfire crisis, was really the conversation you heard frequently in the House, which was our housing crisis. So I'm wondering if we're expecting any additional funding for housing this year. Thank you.
