I thank the Minister for the answer. As I was on the campaign trail, this was a huge issue for my constituents with limited employment. Can the Minister tell us if the Housing Corporation considered the impact modular homes would have on the economy, trades, and potential business in these communities where these modular homes are going?

I thank the Minister for that answer and I look forward to meeting with him on the audit. I guess my struggle is that the people of Nahendeh have lots of concerns, and they are feeling like their voices are not being heard. In saying that, will the Minister and his staff be willing to come to the region and listen to the residents' concerns and recommendations to help improve the health and social services system in Nahendeh, and potentially have an impact on the NWT? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

I thank the Minister for his answer. I understand the confidentiality of these matters, but is it in any way possible that you can track in specific areas -- say that travel is an issue, appointments are an issue. Are you are able to provide a breakdown to us on the other side so that we are aware of what the issues are besides what we have presently?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to take the opportunity to recognize the athletes, coaches, and youth ambassadors that are representing the NWT at the Arctic Winter Games in Nuuk, Greenland from my riding. However, before I do that, I need to thank their parents, coaches, and chaperones for all their help in getting them to the games. These folks spent hundreds, maybe thousands of hours, to help them get prepared. The Arctic Winter Games are great combination of athletic competition, celebration of friendship, sportsmanship, and fair play that shows the world how...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I also rise to speak to this motion. I would like to thank Ms. Green and Mr. Nadli for bringing this motion forward. I live with a non-visible disability in my own family, and as I have spoken in the House here previously about the education system and the challenges that they have had there, I really think we as the government need to come up with a process. After I spoke about it, I had a number of constituents ask about this as well, and I explained that Ms. Green was bringing this motion forward that would ask the government to address this and come up...

I thank the Minister for the answer. However, I think the Housing Corporation seems to miss the big picture. If we put people in homes, that's great, but if they don't have economy and they don't have income to support these homes, we're in trouble. Can the Minister please provide the House with where these modular homes came from, and how and where they were transported from?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We

heard the Minister responsible for the NWT Housing Corporation talk about market housing for community staff. Can the Minister please advise how the NWT Housing Corporation was able to come up with the number 30 per cent using modular homes versus stick-built? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

I thank the Minister for the answer, but why can't we put it on the website? Why can we not put it on the website saying here's the information and to whom to address the issues?

I thank the Minister for his answer. I’m a little bit concerned with the answer. My challenge is: How can the North Slave District really manage this section of the highway? I understand the great work the Fort Providence staff do, but management based out of Yellowknife have no real vested interest in this highway if they don't drive down it. Will the Minister commit to looking to have the Fort Providence to Redknife section of the road transferred to the Fort Simpson District for more efficiency, or if that is not possible, can the Minister have his staff post on their website and on signage...

I thank the Minister for his answer. Can the Minister provide the House with the cost to maintain each section of the road, Fort Providence Junction to Redknife and Redknife to Fort Simpson?
