Statements in Debates
Thank you, Ms. Lee. Mr. Miltenberger.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I have a lot of concerns with respect to the operations of the NWT Housing Corporation, and these are general comments so I will try to keep my comments general, but I'll probably take up the whole 10 minutes. It's a subject once I start talking about, I can't stop.
Mr. Chairman, the Housing Corporation's mandate is askew, as far as I'm concerned. I look at the mandate, as I understand it, as being to address those in need. When we talk about housing crises in the Northwest Territories, I surely hope we're talking about people who are in need. I think...
We have a number of items before us in Committee of the Whole today. I would suggest that we take a break now and resume with opening comments for the NWT Housing Corporation immediately after the break. Is the committee agreed?
Thank you, Mr. Krutko. With four seconds on the clock, Mr. Menicoche.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Quite often when we lack policies or legislation in certain areas, we like to look at what is being done in other jurisdictions, so that we can borrow best practices from already established practices. I would like to ask the Minister if he is aware of what other jurisdictions in Canada do to respond to this growing issue of allergies. Thank you.
