QUESTION 3-17(1): HOUSING RENTAL SCALE REVIEW

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. My question for Cabinet and our Premier is: I do realize that in March we are planning to change our rent scale for housing and I’m hoping that we can implement that sooner, if possible. I know portfolios aren’t designated yet, but I’d like to make that a priority. Mahsi cho, Mr. Speaker.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you, Mr. Blake. Mr. McLeod.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I know there is a rental scale review. We’re expecting the results fairly soon and we’ll take whatever steps we can to do it on a timely basis, recognizing that it’s a big issue for all of the communities in the Northwest Territories. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

I have no further questions.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you, Mr. Blake. Member for Deh Cho, Mr. Nadli.
