Yes, we’ll continue to work with the groups that are involved and see if there are some ways that we can be a part of the process. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, I would.

Yes, as I committed before and I’ll commit again, we will have a look at it and continue to try and improve our programs as we have done for the last number of years with the help of this Legislative Assembly. So, we will continue to try, not try, we will continue to improve our programs and help those seniors, those with mobility issues, the disabled and all those who are in need the best we can. Thank you.

Mr. Chair, we have had discussions with the Canada Winter Games folks about the possibility of having an athletes village and helping them build an athletes village. At the end of the Games, we would turn one of those facilities into a seniors complex and the other one into public housing. Thank you.

Thank you. We can provide technical advice, and as far as the actual project itself goes, the communities have all gone and found someone to do the design for them. They’ve actually led the contract themselves in most cases, hired their own project managers. They’ve actually been able to do it probably less expensively than we could have as a government, because every time you see the little polar bear there, prices seem to go up a little higher.

When the community goes looking for prices, it gives them a few options and I think we’ve found that they’ve been able to get some product on the...

We have a number of programs within the NWT Housing Corporation that the uptake in the programs is from the seniors themselves. We have the Mobility Policy now where we work with those who have mobility issues and we have a number of programs designed for seniors. We have the Preventative Maintenance Program. So, we have a number of programs. A couple of them are designed specifically for seniors and those with mobility issues, and we also have, as far as our CARE program goes, the greater percentage is taken by seniors. Thank you.

In answer to the first question, yes. Second question, we have a waiting list of 146 people on the public housing wait-list in Yellowknife. Again, I think some of these families have to be on the wait-list to access the Income Support Program, so they may already have a roof over their head but because they need to access the Income Support Program, they need to be on the local public housing wait-list. Thank you.

They would have to use the money to build a project and they would invoice us. Then we would be reimbursed from Canada, I think up to 75 percent of whatever their project costs.

The piles are already in. We did some consultation with the community. We didn’t get any feedback, so we determined that that would be the location.

As far as the number of piles go, again, I will ask for an update and find out where we’re at with that. But it will be awfully expensive now to change the location. They’d have to wait a little longer for their facility. But I will get all the information and share it with the Member for Mackenzie Delta.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. As I said before, one of the challenges we’re facing is we are doing a lot of replacing of public housing, not so much new public housing. We are doing a 19-unit apartment in Niven Lake. As far as future goes, we are doing mostly replacement units. We have, I think, through the ECE transfer program, we have taken over I believe 55 units. The program went through ECE before. They transferred the money to us and then we, in turn, leased a unit from I think it was a private landlord and we put income support clients in those units. We turned them into public housing, so...
