Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Status of housing renovation in the Tlicho region.
Mr. Speaker, my questions are for the Minister responsible for Housing NWT.
According to the budget for this fiscal year, there were 22 housing units that were to be renovated in Behchoko during this fiscal year. Summer is here and renovations should be underway, but the community has not seen progress.
Mr. Speaker, my question for the Minister is how many units in Behchoko are actually being renovated in 20222023; and further, for those units:
How many of the units renovated are empty units that will be renovated to make them available to people on the waiting list;
How many of the renovation contracts were awarded to businesses located in the Tlicho region;
How many Tlicho residents received training or apprenticeship through the renovation projects in Behchoko; and
How many renovations of units will be completed by the end of the current fiscal year.
