Question 357-20(1): Tulita Four-Plex Transfer

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And thanks for this opportunity for another question. My question today is to the Minister of housing.

We have a beautiful building there in Tulita, the Tulita four-plex, that was transferred ownership to this government. It was designated for health staff but it's currently not ready and that ownership was transferred last -- the beginning of the summer. And I would like to know what measures is the housing Minister taking to make it occupied for the health staff so that'll release the current building for the teachers? Mahsi.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you, Member from the Sahtu. Member for Housing NWT.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And thank you to the Member for the question. The four-plex in Tulita has been transferred over to health for use for the nursing staff in Tulita. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Okay, thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of health -- no, I'll wait for another opportunity. Thank you. Mahsi.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Member from the Sahtu, please questions, because I got a whole list of people that want to still get on the second one. Members, oral questions. Member from Yellowknife Centre.
