Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 139)

Yes, thank you for the information, because I was just wondering what was happening over there, you know, from 313, because in the small communities we have a lot of issues with mortgage. We have there's a lot of people that have mortgage and a lot of them they had to refinance agreement. And some of these mortgage are old. You know, like they're over 20 years old and they're still on their books. And they were recently refinanced. And I just wanted to ask the Minister and they did some they forgave some of the arrears before. Why not do the same with the mortgage arrears? Will the Minister...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 139)

I was going to ask the Minister yesterday regarding this mortgage payment and social housing agreement, 20212022 that says 313, and 2023 I just want to know why it's less here compared to now. There's a big gap in between, and I just wanted to know if mortgage payment was forgiven in this area. Like, some mortgage, were they forgiven? Because it's 313 compared to 955, why is it less?

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 139)

Okay. Habitat for Humanity, so there's allocated for this year. I just wanted to ask if I know they were advertising before. So how does this Habitat for Humanity work?

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 139)

Thank you. It's good it's being reviewed, but can you give us a number? Like, there must be a number. Because the reason why I'm asking is because we have a lot of, okay, seniors aging at home and we have a lot of people that retire and even for two income, they apply for the program they're not eligible. And it's they went from being two income earners household to retirement, and it's difficult for them to make ends meet.

And because this income threshold. They need repair done to their unit to their House but as a result of the income threshold, they're denied most of the time. And they...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 139)

Okay, thank you. Will the Minister commit to decentralizing the North Slave district office to the communities?

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 139)

Okay. Well, North Slave district office there's it's not just Tlicho region. Tlicho four Tlicho communities. There's Lutselk'e. There's Dettah. There's N'dilo. There's Lutselk'e. So how many of this position goes to the outlying communities?

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 139)

Okay, thank you. And here on the next page on page 389, here it says North Slave, North Slave district office or North Slave active positions. And here you recognize Tlicho but there's nothing there. Why is that?

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 139)

So can they be specific on what that program is for?

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 139)

Yes, thank you. I know I spoke in this House before regarding the BDIC, and they do forgive millions and millions of dollars of business loans. And why not do the same for the housing those who have outstanding mortgage or the old mortgage, you know, and I think across the territory there's like 247 outstanding old mortgages. If they can do a writeoff, they can do it. It's just that they're not they're not making an effort to do it. That's how we feel because a lot of people are asking. And some of the people were saying or they said to me that, from the outlying communities, they told us...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 139)

Yes, why is it less, yes. Are they giving people a break? Like, this 2021 I know it might be related to COVID, I'm not too sure. But it's lesser than to current to the main estimate for 20232024.
