I would like to advise that I would encourage the client to go into our local housing authority office to receive rental assessment, and to make sure that they remain consistent, but it is the client's responsibility to make sure that, if they have any changes in their income, that they report it to the local housing authority.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, the housing corporation has been instructed to use T4 slips for their rental scale. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Member, for your comment. Going forward, I am looking at the program services that we offer at the local housing authority and the district offices. I guess it is kind of disturbing to hear that all of the programs are not being met and that we're not getting out to the clients who require the services that the Housing Corporation has to offer. I have instructed my department, the district offices, to be meeting with the local housing authorities monthly and going forward and looking at that, and wanting to meet the needs of the community membership; looking at the seniors, as well, and the programs; and looking at the dates that they are missing.

I would like the Member to provide me with names of the clients, and I will have my department follow up with that as soon as possible. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and thank you, Member, for your question.

Thank you, Member, for your question. Going forward, I have realized that we have increased the population within our communities, and program delivery in our increased public housing units means that there is a need for more positions within our communities. I will be looking into this question because it is a concern to me that we do have a number of units on the ground, but the number of employees that we have currently, we need to review that. Going forward, I will follow up with the Member with the changes that we will be making throughout the community offices, the local housing authority.

Thank you, Member, for your statement. I am quite surprised to hear that the programs' advisors are not seeing the applications thoroughly and that they are not meeting the satisfaction of the clients coming to the programs' advisors. I will ensure to the Member that, when the district officers come into the community, that we do end up with a status report. I want to know what those community visits were like. I want to know how many applications were received and if they were completed or else if there was some information that we are missing. I will ensure that the programs' advisors are following up and that we are accountable as the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation. Thank you, Member, for your comments.

Thank you, Member, for your statement. Mr. Speaker, I will commit to having my programs' advisors who visit the community offices going forward. We do have a significant amount of programs and services that we do deliver as the Housing Corporation. Right now, we are going forward, and we are looking at advertisements. Then we are able to meet the needs of the Northwest Territories through our program delivery. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you, Member, for your question.

Thank you, Member, for your comments. Yes, I will commit to coming into your riding and taking a look at these units as I am very eager, very excited to see how these public tenders and these projects are going to pan out. I am very interested in looking at the local hired, how many people we have employed within that, within your riding. Thank you, Member. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Member, for your comments. The Northwest Territories Housing Corporation is encouraged to create employment within the communities. Looking at the design that we have created for the RCMP units and looking at the education and training for those units, I am looking at going forward to providing those services in the smaller communities. Elaborating on it a little bit more, I really want to emphasize that the opportunity that these units are going to be providing, looking at the modular units that are coming forward, they would be constructed very quickly, very fast. With the stick-built units, I know they are just a little bit more expensive than just putting the modular units on the ground. There is no plan to construct the modular units at this time.

We are forecasting looking at building the stick-built units with the design that was created between the federal government and the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation, looking at the environment and really mindful of the permafrost, at the environment that we will be constructing in, as well. There has been put forward a lot of thought into this project. There are 47 units going across the Northwest Territories. Going forward, I would like to elaborate on it a little bit more and keep the Members updated on when these units will be constructed and when they would be put out for tender. Thank you, Member.

Thank you, Member, for your comments. The units that will be constructed, they will be stick-built, and I am looking at the education and training to go along with those units and the opportunity for the surrounding communities within the tax-base communities, as well, and looking at the education and training to be building the units and also the maintenance aspect of it, as well. It is going to increase our services that we are going to have to be offering at those community levels. Going forward, the opportunity will create employment, which is what we are working towards. Thank you, Member.
