Okay, thanks, Madam Chair. Is there any possibility that this position could be located in Edzo? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I move that this committee defer further consideration of the estimates for the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation at this time. Mahsi, Mr. Chair.

Merci, Monsieur le President. I love taxes. I can and want to pay more taxes to help those in need here in the Northwest Territories, in Canada, and elsewhere in the world. I just wish there were others in this House that believed the same, especially on the Cabinet side.

"Taxes are what we pay for civilized society", so said American Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Junior in 1927. If we truly want better programs and services for the residents of the Northwest Territories, a more sustainable financial future, a just and compassionate society, and a planet we can pass on to our...

Okay, thanks. So and when when is this new design going to come forward? Because there's zero in the main estimates, is there going to be a supplementary appropriation? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Okay, thanks. On the same page, 388, then, the new home program, just seems like it was a 20212022 program, $767,000, and then there's nothing before and nothing afterwards. What's happening there? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Okay, sorry, so how much is set aside for Spruce Bough, and is it in this line here? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thanks, Madam Chair. Just just a couple questions about some line items here.

So on page 387 program detail, programs development and implementation went from $3.6 million in 20202021 to $11.6 million, then for 20222023, it's down to $10 million. What's going on with this line? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thanks, Madam Chair, much appreciated. I'm trying to remember exactly where I was on Friday. It seems like a lifetime ago, but. I guess I was trying to figure out how the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation determines when to go to the Financial Management Board for more resources. And I think I heard that there was two areas of forced growth that the corporation sought additional funds for, and looking back at Hansard from Friday, was for property taxes and incremental costs associated with expansion of public housing programs.

So I know that we all know that inflation is going to be...

Merci, Monsieur le President.

WHEREAS Minister's Statement 29219(2): Annual Status Report on the Mandate of the Government of the Northwest Territories 20192023 was delivered, Tabled Document 56719(2): Annual Status Report 20192023, Mandate of the Government of the Northwest Territories February 2021January 2022 was tabled in this House;

Merci, Monsieur le President. I want to thank the Minister for that. Seeing as we seem to have some leverage with the receiver, maybe we can suggest that they speed that up a bit.

In my statement, I noted that the financial security held for this site was totally inadequate and has probably run out by now. Can the Minister confirm that the financial security has run out and tell us how much additional money our government has paid to the receiver for the compliance and limited reclamation at the site? Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.
