Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yesterday my colleague, the honourable Kevin Menicoche, spoke about the need for police services in his riding. I, too, continue to share his concern about the need to protect residents who don’t have full-time police services. Mr. Speaker, on numerous occasions I have raised this concern; in particular on the situation in Sachs Harbour.

Sachs Harbour residents have raised this issue with me since I started to represent them in this House. Mr. Speaker, the response today from the Department of Justice continues to be that we are looking at alternatives to address...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My next question for the Minister is, like I said earlier, we’re probably going to get 180-plus coming this year. I’m just wondering, those communities without lot development are in, if they can’t find suitable lands, say, with claimant groups, what will happen to those units? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the riding of Nunakput is in dire need of granular material to address their infrastructure needs in my constituency. The access to gravel in most of my constituency can only be accessed during the winter. It may take at least six months to be able to access a quarry site because of different legislations. An example is Inuvialuit land administration.

Mr. Speaker, yesterday the Deputy Premier and the Minister of the NWT Housing Corporation announced that a total of $100 million will be spent to construct 530 adequate and affordable housing units over the...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Once again, Mr. Speaker, I’d like to ask the Minister on whether, like I said, we’re on year one of construction of units, so I’m just wondering, can the Minister indicate to me whether, say in Tuktoyaktuk that the gravel that they need to build these units is available right now. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Minister of NWT Housing Corporation. We are in year one of a three-year plan to accommodate or build, construct 530 units, whether they’re multi-plex or homeownership, across the Northwest Territories. Today I spoke in my Member’s statement about the need for gravel in communities without year-round access for a source of ground material. I’d like to ask the Honourable David Krutko, the Minister of NWT Housing Corporation, can the Minister tell me whether access and stockpiling of granular material for the construction of building lots is part...

Mr. Speaker, on two other occasions I travelled with Parks Canada and the Inuvialuit Regional Corporation personnel to Paulatuk and Sachs Harbour to celebrate the opening of two of Parks Canada's new culture and language centres respectively. These two offices reflect the diversity of the culture, wildlife and environment in the Tuktut Nogiat and Aulivik national parks. I encourage the people of the Northwest Territories and Canada and internationally to visit these two offices, and also prepare to spend time in the national parks. The establishment of these two parks stem from the...
