Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 101)

Thank you. Another one too is that there are some students that took because they use up their basic and supplementary grant, which is equivalent which is 12semesters, an equivalent to $60,000. So some went on the because of that, they're not eligible for the remissible loan. So they have to go on the repayable loan and some are saying that well, some of the students that or the people that I talked to, they're close to 60 years old and they're saying we don't have a job. Government is not going to do a write off of that loan. They would like to see that write off.

Is there any way that...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 101)

Yeah, thank you. Okay, when I asked about the active position, so I heard the Minister say they add more police services in the communities. Okay, police are to keep peace and order, we know that. And to make residents feel safe. But I just want to ask the Minister, I would like to know what is the Department of Justice is doing to reduce crime rate in the community because it's okay. Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 101)

Yes, thank you. Career development and training, the number is really low in this one. It says 30. Well, there was nothing in 2021. I think we know why. But it's budgeted for 30. Why the number is so low when in many of the small communities because there's career development, a lot of people benefit from this position. So I'm just wondering why it's low?

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 101)

Oh, my five minutes is up? Okay.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 101)

Okay, yesterday I was saying about the income support and, okay, the Indigenous students, they get they're eligible for basic and supplementary. And I was saying there, I said a lot of students are saying that the funding that they get, it's not enough. So a lot of them are saying they're going they're applying for the repayable loan. And so when they do that, they are they were told that they have to pay, like the full amount. And it's not they don't like it. They would like some of them were saying that it would be nice if it was the same as the remissible loan where they can pay half...

Question 959-19(2): Northwest Territories Housing Corporation Customer Service
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 99)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Does the Housing Corporation use interpreters to communicate with clients whose first language is not English? Thank you.

Question 959-19(2): Northwest Territories Housing Corporation Customer Service
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 99)

I am concerned, Mr. Speaker. The Housing Corporation staff in this particular case, as I stated in my Member's statement, continue to communicate with my constituents in a way that is not recognized, understood, or acknowledged, when it is the responsibility put back on staff to confirm clients understand the message.

Does the Housing Corporation have guidelines or standards to provide customer service expectation to staff? Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 99)

No. So I'm just wondering because we heard from educators many times too that in order to maintain your language, you have to start at the lower level and like right now, with the daycare, can they access this money as well, this funds, the daycare or Indigenous daycare that or in the outlying communities or a daycare here, can they are they are they eligible to access?

Member’s Statement 969-19(2): Northwest Territories Housing Corporation Customer Service
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 99)

Thank you, mahsi. Mr. Speaker, today I am going to talk about the housing corporation customer service. I am speaking on behalf of my constituents, a couple, an elderly, who live in one of the communities. Their interaction with the housing corporation demonstrates how the bureaucracy of the corporation approach the communicate with our Indigenous homeowners.

Mr. Speaker, it is a total clash of culture.

Mr. Speaker, this couple has received at least eight formal letters from the housing corporation, three of which were formally served to them. But Mr. Speaker, the housing corporation does not...
