Statements in Debates
Next on the list I have Mr. Beaulieu.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The issue that I’d like to speak on today in regard to the area of housing is the area of maximum rent rates in every community in the Northwest Territories. What we’re finding is that in most communities, their rates are different from one community to the other.
I’ll illustrate a situation I have in my riding in regard to the community of Tsiigehtchic. To rent a five-bedroom unit in Tsiigehtchic would cost you $3,700, which is the maximum rate. Yet, half an hour down the road in Fort McPherson, the same five-bedroom unit is rented for $2,500, a difference of $1,300...
Mr. Anderson.
Mr. Minister.
Ms. Bisaro.
Sergeant-at-Arms, escort the witnesses.
For the record, Mr. Minister, can you introduce your witnesses?
Minister McLeod.
Okay, we will move to the capital, page 3-10, information item. With that, I would like to ask the Minister if he will bring in any witnesses.
