Statements in Debates

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 21)

Thank you. I’ll make this my last question. I understand from the Minister that it would cost $30 million a year to bring the housing stock up to date. For how many years would the corporation have to spend $30 million to accomplish that goal? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I will take that to mean nine cents per kilowatt hour. My question is: what plans is the Housing Corporation making to reduce the costs of subsidizing power to the social housing units, to their units? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 21)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Could the Minister please expand on that idea, $30 million to bring the housing stock up to date? Thank you.

Nothing, thank you.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 21)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I’m wondering if the Minister can tell us or commit to telling us how many empty but viable units there are in each community. Thank you.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 21)

Mr. Chair, I’m just trying to follow along. When I was asking my questions, I thought we were on page 356, but weren’t we in fact on page 358?

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 21)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. What I’m concerned about is, with this approach, which sounds quite fragmented, how will the Minister be able to make the case to the federal government to increase their investment if there aren’t overarching goals of reducing homelessness, reducing core need, and other larger goals? Thank you.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 21)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. One of the reasons I ask is because I think some of the highest core need for affordability and suitability is in the Tlicho region. The amount of money that is going to be spent in the two neediest communities, Gameti and Whati, is minimal compared to other communities. I’m wondering if the Minister can explain why that is. Thank you.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 21)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Could the Minister remind us what kinds of questions the survey is trying to answer and who the target for the survey is? Thank you.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 21)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. My question concerns the capital acquisition plan. I’m wondering if the Minister can tell us about the rationale that’s applied to deciding which assets to acquire? Thank you.
