Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As the moratorium on evictions draws near, I’d like to ask the Minister of Housing what is the success rate for people in public housing with arrears to set up payment plans.
Thank you, Mr. Blake. The honourable Minister responsible for the NWT Housing Corporation, Mr. Robert McLeod.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Right now we’ve had nobody that is potentially affected by the evictions come forward and enter into repayment plans. We’ve got a month and a half left and we’re hoping that things improve in the meantime. Thank you.
My next question is: Will the Minister of Housing be willing to extend the deadline?
We have had this in place now for approximately four months. We feel that is adequate enough time for people to come in and enter into repayment plans and try to honour them. No, we won’t be looking at extending the deadline, because we feel the people have had enough time. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. McLeod. The honourable Member for Hay River North, Mr. Bouchard.
