So the deputy minister is saying we’re going to have to wait five to 10 years before the GNWT decides to consider purchasing that?

It is my understanding that Yellowknife suffers as the community with the largest need, so not necessarily percentage but certainly in the context of actual numbers.

Can the Minister confirm that? Can he also tell me how many people are waiting on the public housing list in Yellowknife? Thank you.

How many times did the court party go to Behchoko last year?

I’d like to know if we actually got any warranty out of it, and I certainly hope that would be here before the end of session. As you know, we’re down to just a few days.

Under the test section, I know we did a section using the product called Easy Street. Is the Minister able to tell us where they used this, how many kilometres or how long of a stretch they used, and why don’t we have a placard of some sort to identify that so people can see where it’s being used? I mean, I wouldn’t know where to look for it, so no one in the public would, so how would we know what’s being used and how much...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I certainly hope before the end of session. That said, can the Minister tell me what the net positive impact on new housing opportunities through public housing will be in the city of Yellowknife? Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. First of all, let me thank my good colleague Ms. Bisaro. I was worried I was the only one who had an issue with this particular vehicle and I thought her questions were well thought out to the issue.

I’ve had grave concerns about a $65,000 vehicle just to drive a judge around in luxury, because we want to make sure that they don’t feel the bumps on the way to Behchoko. I don’t think there’s any vehicle you could drive to Behchoko without feeling the bumps, but in all seriousness, the ultimate answer here is so they can ride in comfort.

Let’s start off with not...

Was any warranty action taken? If so, how many kilometres fell under the warranty program?

We still haven’t had the answer of what an incident means or in the context of… Thanks, Mr. Bouchard.

The other thing is that now the Minister is stereotyping the clientele by saying they’re well known by other social agencies. I don’t know what he means, and in all honesty, I mean, we’re just sort of guessing at good faith.

Incident, again I’m saying, was it someone upset? They crumpled up a piece of paper and were mad because they didn’t get the answer they wanted? I mean, what are we talking about? It’s just continue to say as minimum as possible, promise to get back to us, even though we...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Can the Minister clearly articulate how many positions they’ve evaluated for potential layoffs as a recommendation to the next government? This work is going on right now. They have said repeatedly it’s not their hand on the rope, but I can tell you they’re giving the next government the nudge and all the material that they need. So I want to understand the valuation and evaluation that they’ve looked at, at this particular second, that they’re billing department by department by department. No one can dodge that question because it’s the responsibility of this Cabinet...

Is he really saying under the dips we are just filling holes and fixing cracks? Thank you.
