Yes, Mr. Speaker, I give notice that on Thursday, June 2nd, 2022, I will move the following motion: Now therefore I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Inuvik Twin Lakes that this Legislative Assembly calls upon Housing NWT to increase efforts to transfer ownership of Housing NWT units to longterm tenants who have lived in their existing units for 20 years or more and are willing to assume ownership of their family home for a nominal fee.
And further that Housing NWT will work with municipal and Indigenous governments to ensure land leases or fee simple titles for their units remains affordable when transferred from Housing NWT to the current tenants.
And furthermore that Housing NWT increase efforts to transfer unused and vacant units to interested residents in the communities throughout the territory.
And furthermore that efforts supporting the transfer of unused and vacant units as well as units of longterms tenants commence immediately by Housing NWT.
And furthermore that the Government of the Northwest Territories provide a comprehensive response to this motion within the 120 days.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
