Question 1204-19(2): Transfer of Housing Units to Indigenous Governments

Due to housing crisis, what we need is action. Mr. Speaker, how can this Assembly help the Government of the Northwest Territories transfer housing properties to the Indigenous government faster? Thank you.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you, Member for Monfwi. Minister responsible for Housing NWT.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And to the Member's question, thank you for that as well that I just the Tlicho is a settled land claim area. They do have selfgovernment. I would have to bring this forward to their respective government. If they have looking at housing units to be transferred, I would have to further those discussions with that appropriate government. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
