Does that mean that the Housing Corporation will in all likelihood provide a cash support to an initiative when it’s ready to be received if asked upon by Avens?

Debates of , 17th Assembly, 5th Session (day 86)

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My question would be, what’s driven this initiative. Thank you.

Debates of , 17th Assembly, 5th Session (day 86)

Has Housing been approached by anyone at Avens?

Well, debate is being stifled very quickly then. I’d like to know how many times the other vehicle is used and what type of services the other sheriff’s vehicle is using. So I’m staying away from the specific on the $65,000, but it’s important to understand what it’s being used for.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Thank you for that and thank you for the recap on those places. Can the Minister tell me how many doors we support in each of those locations? So, Mary Murphy, NUP, Aven Ridge and Aven Manor. Thank you.

Well, it’s a shame that the Minister is so ill-prepared to answer this question because I think it’s germane to the problem, which is if it’s only travelling once or twice a week in 52 weeks, that tells you that maybe – again I wish I had the number before me; he doesn’t seem to want to share it or he doesn’t have it – that if it even goes twice a week, that means it’s sitting in Yellowknife three days a week. I not only mention that, I spent a lot of time talking about the second vehicle. So, the second vehicle has to be so large to tow a boat, for example. So you’re telling me that that...

So the deputy minister is saying we’re going to have to wait five to 10 years before the GNWT decides to consider purchasing that?

Debates of , 17th Assembly, 5th Session (day 86)

It is my understanding that Yellowknife suffers as the community with the largest need, so not necessarily percentage but certainly in the context of actual numbers.

Can the Minister confirm that? Can he also tell me how many people are waiting on the public housing list in Yellowknife? Thank you.

How many times did the court party go to Behchoko last year?

Debates of , 17th Assembly, 5th Session (day 86)

I’d like to know if we actually got any warranty out of it, and I certainly hope that would be here before the end of session. As you know, we’re down to just a few days.

Under the test section, I know we did a section using the product called Easy Street. Is the Minister able to tell us where they used this, how many kilometres or how long of a stretch they used, and why don’t we have a placard of some sort to identify that so people can see where it’s being used? I mean, I wouldn’t know where to look for it, so no one in the public would, so how would we know what’s being used and how much...
