Statements in Debates
Thank you, Madam Chair. I am just going to go back to sort of follow what Mr. Braden is talking about. The Minister indicated that we are looking at probably 500 houses over the next three years, pending the federal government’s funding. I am just wondering, as Mr. Braden pointed out earlier, are we going to continue to deliver these houses for the next three years, as the Minister indicated? Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. But can the Minister indicate to us, are the jobs pretty well the same between the tenant relations officers and the community liaison personnel, and how much is the contract that goes to these organizations? Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Krutko. Next I have Mrs. Groenewegen.
Thank you, Madam Chair. Some of the questions I was going to ask were taken care of by Mr. Braden already, so I wouldn't dwell too much on those ones. The only comments I would like to hear from the Minister, Madam Chair, is in regard to his mentioning consultation with MLAs and LHOs, community and other stakeholders. What I'd like to know from the Minister is what timeline is he looking at. Is he looking at the next couple of years, or the next three/four months, or what timelines? What is the deadline prior to the consultation process? Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I wouldn’t make a comment on that one, but I’d like to. I know the Minister talked earlier about students going to Arctic College and having to leave their community. I understand that each local housing authority has their own policies. I’ll give you an example. In Tuktoyaktuk, I know that they allow that a student can go out for a couple of years and they just save the unit for when the student comes back. Is that a policy that the local housing authority makes out? Thank you.
