Thank you, Mr. Chair. We have got 12 certified journeymen apprentices for nine years. Is that correct? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, we and our committee have been looking really hard in looking at this budget and so the first thing, our biggest challenge we're looking at was the elimination of the Transition Rent Supplement Program. We understand that this program has not met its goals, but this should be addressed. Instead of getting rid of the program, the goals should be looked at and, if it's not efficient, then maybe the fund should be allocated to different housing programs instead of being removed.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move that this committee defer further consideration of the activity, Programs and District Operations, under the NWT Housing Corporation Main Estimates 20172018 on page 361 at this time. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I thank the Minister for her answer. That is great. Can the Minister make a commitment to share with committee what this plan is and how we can work together to get this message out to the residents so that, you know, they are not in these situations where they could end up with an eviction?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in my Member's statement today I talked about the Housing Corporation and the arrears situation as well as housing for people who don't have proper running water and that.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move that this committee defer further consideration of the activity, finance and infrastructure services, under the NWT Housing Corporation Main Estimates 20172018 on page 358 at this time. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. You forgot to start my clock. In regards to this apprenticeship, so is it the Red Seal has to be working for the LHO or can it be somebody in town?

Thanks to the Minister to provide that list. As I was writing it, I could not hear the whole thing, so if we can get the Minister to provide that information to us, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I thank the Minister for that answer. Is the Minister able to provide us a breakdown on how many positions are allocated into each of the LHOs? Thank you, Mr. Chair. Specifically, I guess, Mr. Chair, each LHO? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
