I think maybe the Housing Corporation should do is that review the access program, housing access program from 20 years ago, because I think in there there was income support were paying the expense and were also paying the rent as well, or mortgage to the Housing Corporation. So there was you know, I mean it was done before. So I just need to it would be nice if the Housing Corporation can review, you know, the previous policies. Thank you.

It's good that, you know, we're on the same page because we're both from the small communities. Yes, I think that's going to be good. But are you is the Housing Corporation going to assess the value based on what it's worth, not or is it going to be based on or what it was worth and then based on market value? And because like I said yesterday in one of my Member's statement, is it fair to sell a house to someone with that doesn't have running water or the flush or the toilet don't flush, or they don't have anything in that unit? So I just wanted to know how is it going to be based on...

Okay, thank you. I am aware and I'm you know, I've been talking to a lot of people, to a lot of my community my constituents as well. So there are a lot of people that I know want to be homeowners. And some do not want to be living in a public unit, you know, but they have no choice. So I know that there's lot of aging homes. So and even, you know, one of the housing or housing goal is promoting homeownership program as well.

So I see I saw one of your policy that was on the social media, and I don't think that one will work in really small communities because in there, in one of your...

Thank you. Will the Minister commit to transferring the child and youth care counsellor program responsibilities to Tlicho government? Thank you.

Will the Minister and leadership team commit to visiting Tlicho region to discuss how to create more culture and communitybased solution for addiction, substance abuse, and mental health? Thank you.

Good morning, thank you, Mr. Speaker. Okay, this is Member's statement to Minister of Health and Social Services regarding communitybased wellness.

Mr. Speaker, many people in my regions are suffering with addiction and substance abuse. Achieving good mental health is a struggle for many. Unfortunately, that also means that many of our children and youth are growing up in homes that are not healthy and put them at risk for maltreatment. We are frustrated with this situation.

We know that the health and wellbeing of a person, family, and community is holistic. We need our health supports to...

Thank you. Yes, thank you. I have three minutes left, and I'm watching my time.

Okay, because it's just that since I said that there's not enough jobs and, you know, like, we know that lot of them are income you know, like, the it's just well, according to the report, I'm just speaking from the report too as well, you know, and so that's why so so, because already in many of the small communities, income support is already paying, you know, Housing Corporation for some rent. I'm just wondering in this situation, is it possible for those who are under your program, under mortgage program...

Well, it would be nice, yes. Yes, I hope that change will happen in that review.

Another one too is that I know there's lot of people that are living in market rental and the public unit, some of them want to become homeowners. Some of them are still paying max rent. And I think some of them probably pay over $500,000 for a unit because and what is the housing doing helping these families that have lived in the unit for 20 or more years? Are you guys reaching out to those families, to those people that maybe they want to, you know, transfer the ownership of the house to them for, like, a...

Sit? Okay. Okay, Mr. Chair, thank you. Mr. Chair, I have listened to the Point of Order raised by the Government House Leader and respectfully disagree.

Mr. Chair, I am a passionate advocate for my constituents, and I am here to speak on their behalf. In response to the House to the honourable Member's first Point of Order, I do not believe I violated Rule 3.2(3)(m). The honourable Member suggests I made a statement in the House about an individual who is not a Member of the House and is not present to defend themselves.

First, I did not name an individual person. I referred to an unnamed...

Thank you. Will the Minister commit to identifying where the Tlicho government can take authority over mental health program? Thank you.
