In terms of the biomass, I did answer some questions today in the House on the work that we are doing, the work

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, we would be willing to look at that on a case-by-case basis, obviously. I know that throughout the -- well, I'm wearing my other hat, there. We do have nine communities that are on the flood watch, as well as shoreline erosion, and we would look at it o

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Mr. Chair. As you heard me speak earlier, one the programs that we're looking at, and hopefully will be successful, is the lease-to-own program, and we do have a target of 60 over three years. We also have the new home ownership program that we're hoping to have one in

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Mr. Chair, and as I mentioned, we'll continue to promote these programs through our communications strategy in terms of our office doing work with the district offices and with the LHOs. Further to the Member's questions, sometimes Housing is really the only game in to

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Just for confirmation, in government we always use acronyms, CNIT is Core Need Income Threshold, just so that all Members know when we are looking at that. Thank you.

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Mr. Chair. We are going through a strategic renewal process right now. In terms of the numbers, we all know that Yellowknife, with the public housing waiting list, the need here is the most significant in probably the Northwest Territories. We will look at that, and we

I have to get the specific details for the Member, but I am pretty sure that it is definitely under 10 percent.

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Mr. Chair. There are reinvestment plans. We look at that, and it is up to $2 million to look at any needs that are given in the regions, and we also do look at exceptional proposals. We do work very closely with our LHOs and with our district offices. As all Members kn

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Mr. Chair. We do receive the proposals from the LHOs on a yearly basis. With all of the programs and services that we do, if we asked them to do something quarterly, it would be taking away from the main impact that we want to make, and that is providing programs and s

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, we do look at it on a yearly basis, and we are working with our LHOs, but something that we really focus and are committed on is that, as we develop this plan, we do get with the community housing plans, as well, and that we get feedback from community

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Mr. Chair. As Members know, we know through an audit practice every year, so through that audit, we also do the performance evaluation.

When I did answer questions on the 2,400 public housing units, the 2,800 rental housing units also include market and HELP units. Some communities, we will obviously provide market units and HELP units, but, specific to the former Member's questions, the ref

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Yes. Thank you. At this moment, we don't, just to let the Member know, but that would be an interesting discussion when we have the Northern Housing Summit. It is going to be an opportunity for all leadership community members sitting in one room talking about the considerations

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Mr. Chair. That needs survey will be available this summer and, going obviously into the transition and the new government, it is something that we will definitely take a look at. Thank you.

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Okay, I will try to be really quick. I know he answered quite a bit, but obviously one of the couple of things that we are doing is the lease-to-own program. We want to make sure that people who are in public housing can have that opportunity to lease to own, and then that would
