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?

Yeah. Here, Indigenous languages revitalizations, it says can you clarify that for us please; what does that mean? Because you said development towards Indigenous language diploma program, etcetera.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 98)

Okay, in the budget here, it says shelter enhancement fund, victims of family violence. So the actuals in 2021 was 201. And after that, 20212022, like, the revised on the main estimates still stayed the same at 100. There's a decrease. And down to the 20222023, you still have the same. Why is there a big decrease in almost half in that for the shelter enhancement?

Is there a date when the meeting will be taking place with the Indigenous governments or Council of Leaders that she's talking about?

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 98)

Okay, thank you. I see that the Minister last week in the House submitted the housing mandate, and I believe that's going to be the reflection on well, whatever is there, it's going to be the reflection of the housing renewal policy. So I just wanted to ask when is that housing renewal policy is going to be completed?

Question 951-19(2): Process for Debt Forgiveness
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 98)

Okay, thank you. Final questions. But I think I know the Minister has said it before, we don't want to set anybody up for failure twice. I think it is up to the people to decide, that they should work with the people on that. So does the Minister does the Housing Corporation have a process where clients can have can apply to have debts forgiven? Can the Minister commit to creating a process where clients can apply for debts forgiven or write off? Thank you.
