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...

Corporate management and he did mention the Education Act. So is this where I can mention about the modernization Education Act? Is that or do I have to wait?

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

About the position so I just wanted to ask. I know I'm I'm at page 257, but so that's what I'm referencing, yeah.

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

Yeah, I just wanted to ask I know it's getting late, and we're all tired. And I know when I said that six we make up 6 percent of the population and you said, you know, we don't use the population. But I wanted to ask, well, nine positions in Tlicho region, my constituents, they use that road a lot. That's why I said that, because we use the road. And now Whati's you know, the allseason road is open. So it would be nice if we can have some of these position. 47, you know, in North Slave, and this is the first one that I saw, you know, in Tlicho region in this part of your regional...

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

No, it's you know, the highway from Highway 3 from that's the most busy highway. And I'm kind of a little bit surprised we have only nine active positions, which I thought it would be more than some of the regions when Tlicho make up six percent of the population. So I'm just a little bit why is that, that, you know, there's only nine positions when that road is busy. It's the most it's busy allseason road so I'm just I'm just asking why there's only nine and other regions have more than us. Thank you.

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

Yes, thank you. For the regional operations for the highway, active position here it says for Tlicho, it says here we're not part of the North Slave, this one. So I see that well, the Tlicho AllSeason Road is open now, and the last fiscal year for this coming you know, 20212022, it was this nine, and it's still nine within the new fiscal year. Is that number going to change now with the allseason road opened for the that active position that's in page 257?
