Mr. Speaker, now in terms of remediation, what can Housing Corporation tenants do when they identify mould problems in their units?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as follow-up to my Member's statement, I have a few questions for the Minister responsible for the Housing Corporation. Mr. Speaker, I would like to tell the Minister that I was pleased to hear yesterday that the Minister will be talking with Canada about the funding disparity between the northern territories. Can the Minister commit to following up with Regular Members on the outcome of our housing meetings with federal Minister Duclos? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, like my colleague the Member for Yellowknife Centre did yesterday, I want to talk about the Voices on Housing report. This report on the results of the NWT Housing Corporation's recent engagement survey was tabled in the House last week. You can find it online or at our Legislative Library. Mr. Speaker, I have followed the progress of this survey closely. Many of my constituents wanted to participate, and I was pleased that the Housing Corporation extended the survey to let more people share their views and that it worked with residents to help them...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Minister did answer part of my next question, but I'll ask it anyway. Does the Housing Corporation have an overall territory-wide plan for unit remediation specific to mould rather than having this work delegated to an individual? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, in terms of prevention, how does the Housing Corporation advise and work with tenants to prevent mould growth, whether that's a communication plan, preventative maintenance, or other strategies?

Voices on Housing tells us that one resident wrote, "The Housing Corporation needs to be aware that some repairs cannot be made by tenants themselves. Example: mould is not always the result of poor cleaning habits." Our sister territory, Nunavut, knows this. Their government plans to use $2.6 million in federal money for repairs to tackle their territory's major mould problem. As we know, Nunavut will also see $240 million in housing money over the next decade. Meanwhile, the NWT will see just $36 million.

That begs the question, Mr. Speaker, just what is the Housing Corporation going to do...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to talk about our athletes who are selected to participate at the Canada Summer and Winter Games, National Aboriginal Indigenous Games, and National Aboriginal Hockey Championships. We are fortunate to have our athletes from the NWT participate at this level. As you know, Mr. Speaker, some of our very own have gone on to higher levels of competition, and we are very proud that we have supported them to get to the level that they are at. These Games teach our athletes fair play, responsibility, respect, just to name a few.

Mr. Speaker...

Thank you, Mr. Simpson. Minister Moses.
