Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My final question, can the Minister identify which communities were overfunded using the old funding model? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 35)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Are there any indicators from recent activities, or lack of activities, where you feel the government should take back the responsibility of the infrastructure throughout the NWT? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 35)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. What contingency plans, if any, have been put in place to address similar situations in the future? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 35)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I would like to address the condition of the Dempster Highway during the summer and fall season. The portion of the highway that I am referring to is between Wrangling River and Inuvik. This portion of highway has never been this bad before. I have been receiving calls, text messages, on a daily basis from concerned residents from all over the Beaufort Delta region.

Mr. Speaker, I've driven the Dempster Highway for many years, and I can attest the concerns of the residents of the Beaufort Delta when they state that they have never seen this highway in such bad...

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 35)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In the past, I suggested that major maintenance be conducted during the seasonal closure of the highway when there's less traffic and all maintenance can be completed, including dust control. Has this option ever been considered? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 35)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are in reference to my Member's statement with the highway, summer and fall. What were some of the factors that caused the deterioration of the Dempster Highway between Wrangling River and Inuvik this summer and early fall? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 34)

Yeah, just a final comment that these units that are around 50 years old that, you know, should be demolished or something. You know, they're just using a band-aid solution every few years to accommodate the community, and it's just not working. They need to find a better solution. It's just more of a comment. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 34)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. My question is you have a lot of major retrofits in a lot of the communities. How old are the majority of these units that are being renovated? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 34)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you, Minister, for that response; I await the numbers. What is being done to get more public housing units available and accessible on the ground in the communities? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
