Question 162-19(2): Rent Scale Policy Review

Mr. Speaker, I heard that good news again, about the T4s and the month-by-month, from the housing Minister. I just want to make sure that, across the territory, people know that they are going to be able to go. On what date are we going to start using that system? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you, Member for Nunakput. Minister responsible for the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I just want to clarify with the Member. Is he referring to the date for the assessments to be completed? Please clarify.

Last week, I had a commitment from this Minister. I am not looking for assessments. I am looking for a start date, like what time we could start being able to start choosing a T4 system or a month-by-month and a start date. Thank you from the people of the Northwest Territories who are going to really like our Minister of housing.

In regard to using the T4 slips and going month to month for the assessment, the client can advise his region and his constituents that they can start doing that today, now.

I am in shock. Thank you. Thank you, Madam Minister. Note, just in regard to that, I think that people across the territory are going to be able to do a little bit more with what they get and what they have. I thank the House.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you. I will take that as a comment, unless the Minister wants to respond. Oral questions. Member for Yellowknife North.
