Okay, thank you. I'm going to go to the Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. One of the things that we've been working on recently is a review of our communications and areas where we can improve and get the word out, and this would be one of the problems that we would look at with that. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm just going to ask a question within this activity here. I know I raised it, and we're all quite aware of the Fort Good Hope construction investment that's underway and mobilization of materials for construction of the centre during this winter road season.
Is the department having discussions to form some dialogue on how to support the project which will ultimately produce modular homes which we know is a crisis throughout the territories? And I guess quite simply, Mr. Chair, is the department having discussions with the leadership in Fort Good Hope? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. During the housing symposium, the NWT Housing symposium, there was initial introductions with the Fort Good Hope construction centre team, and President Kelly here had further meetings with them, so she'll provide some insight to that, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. At the housing symposium, I had a separate meeting with Arthur and Crystal, and we talked about the timelines and what they're looking at, and I expressed interest in meeting with them as soon as they're ready, through their work, to discuss what their timelines looked like so that we can have an understanding and look together for the future of how we could work together. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And I want to thank the Minister and staff for that reply. And it's a -- I'm going to say a multi-year approach, affordable access to Fort Good Hope for materials and fittings and mechanical items, and then, you know, in preparation for financing those supports is, in my view, a two year. So I understand this budget is for this year, but I'm glad to hear that there's talks in preparation because we got to annually supply and have talks because it's only a winter road season accessible to Fort Good Hope. But all in all, thank you, Mr. Chair, and thanks to the Minister and staff for that reply. I look forward to helping out any way I can. Mahsi.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And yes, understood. And this is part of the discussions that President Kelly had with the Fort Good Hope team, was looking at the construction centre and some of the construction down the line with the capital plan to align all of that in preparation considering the transportation costs, winter road access, barge access, so all of these things are in consideration, and we have to look long term rather than short term, but we want to support them in their endeavorers. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I wanted to ask about the homeownership initiative program. You know, it's one that receives a relatively small amount of funding, so I'll just start first question. Is the program fully subscribed every year; do we max out this funding? And if not, why not?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Currently, this program is not fully subscribed. Housing NWT continues to promote the opportunities with existing tenants to assume ownership of their units. And that work continues. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
