Question 756-18(3): Housing Support for Released Inmates
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 77)

I am always happy to work with the Minister of Housing with respect to issues such as this, but I think that we have to recognize that there are housings issues throughout the Northwest Territories.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 77)

Yes. Thank you, Mr. Chair. I wonder, since that conversation or that exchange was with Mr. Aitken, whether he might respond to that. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Question 756-18(3): Housing Support for Released Inmates
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 77)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The reintegration of inmates back into society, of course, is a very important part of the correctional system. I also had the opportunity to go to Guthrie House. Currently there is no transitional housing specific to individuals. We could look at that, but there is a housing shortage throughout the Northwest Territories, and I don't know where this would be in our priorities, but we do realize the importance of reintegrating those who are incarcerated back into society. Thank you.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 77)

Committee Motion 136-18(3): Bill 30: An Act to Amend the Human Rights Act – Amendment to Clause 2 – Renumbered Subclause 2(1), Defeated
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 77)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We completely understand the rationale for adding this new ground. While I will talk about insurance, our main concerns are not related to the interests of the insurance industry, but rather to the interests of our residents.

I have to say that, because this very major decision is being raised by a motion here in Committee of the Whole, there has been no opportunity to engage in meaningful consultation.
