Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am glad to be back in the Legislative Assembly here with my colleagues as we continue to work on behalf of the residents of the Northwest Territories. I would like to begin with the issue of our economy. Mr. Speaker, our economy here in the Northwest Territories is growing. Since 1999, our economy has grown by 71 percent. Mr. Speaker, we have been dubbed by our Premier and other federal politicians as the future economic engine of this country. Interestingly enough, our economy last year grew only one percent. The questions that I have about this...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it’s debatable and I don’t think anybody has really seen a waiting list for these units. But I would like to ask the Minister if indeed they are built, will there be a means test available for people trying to occupy these units? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, after having listened to the responses from the Minister -- and I know he’s working with another department, ECE on this -- I’m not at all confident that they will arrive at the solutions I think they need to arrive at sooner rather than later. I’d like to ask the Minister specifically what is going to take place in the Housing Corporation. What projects have they got underway and where exactly is the means test that you’re developing with ECE and will we see that developed over the summer between now and September, Mr. Speaker? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, does the Minister believe it’s fair to allow the two elected boards, the YCS board and the YK No. 1 board, to be basically pitted against each other to figure this out? What is the Minister’s role exactly in trying to rectify the situation that we find ourselves in here in Yellowknife? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it’s obviously clear that both boards, the YCS board and YK No. 1, have to be treated fairly and the needs have to be addressed. I would like to ask the Minister what he intends to do from today to the start of the school year to try to address the needs of both YK No. 1 board and the YCS board. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I think the Justice Minister of the Northwest Territories has a perfect opportunity to become a champion and a voice for equal shared parenting. I know there’s legislation that’s in the work in countries like I mentioned, Italy, Belgium, Australia and the United Kingdom. I’d like the Justice Minister today, if he could, to make a commitment to bring the issue back to the table when he gets together with his counterparts, the other Justice Ministers from around this country, to make sure that equal shared parenting is on the agenda, front and centre, so that...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions today are for the Honourable Brendan Bell, Minister of Justice. It gets back to my Member’s statement from earlier today. I know Father’s Day is about 10 days away and Mrs. Groenewegen made a very nice statement today in respect to fathers, and the observance of Father’s Day, and what a father means in a person’s life. I commend her for doing that today.

I wanted to ask the Minister if he’s aware that under the current conditions that are in place, father’s can actually be forced out of their children’s life, oftentimes because of false allegations? It...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have heard the Minister of the Housing Corporation exhaustively try to explain what this program is, where it came from and everything else. I have to say it’s an admirable try, but I am going to ask my questions now to the Minister responsible for the social housing policy and that’s the Minister of ECE. It was just over a year ago that they took the $30 million from the Housing Corporation. They casually liberated $1.3 million from the Housing Corporation’s budget to hire new people to carry out this social housing policy. I would like to ask the...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, if indeed, and I would suggest that the work on the review that needs to happen for a means test for folks to access seniors’ housing and public housing needs to happen yesterday and I don’t think we can afford to wait the four months over the summer period for that to happen. I’d like to ask the Minister, can we get a means test for the seniors looking for housing over the summer, and I know the Minister said he’s going to consult with the committee, but is he going to enter into any projects over the summer? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there’s been much discussion about seniors’ housing the last two weeks during our session. Much of that discussion has been centred around a lack of a means test for seniors getting into public housing and, in fact, in some cases a lack of clients that may take up residence in some of these projects the Minister has talked about here the past couple of weeks. I’d like to ask the Minister what assurances can he provide to us that he’s not going to rush into any projects over the summer with building any further seniors’ housing without first informing the...
