Question 9-15(3): NWT Housing Needs Survey

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. My questions will be directed to the Minister responsible for the Housing Corporation. I am well aware that the needs survey is going to be tabled with us here today. However, I was getting some feedback from residents in Fort Liard that there was going to be no new allocations, there will be no new mortgage clients this year for 2004. I am wondering how these needs are assessed and want to know if the Minister can comment on that for me.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Minister responsible for the Housing Corporation, Mr. McLeod.

Return To Question 9-15(3): NWT Housing Needs Survey

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the arrangement in Fort Liard is with the community's cooperative arrangement. The core needs assessment the Member has referred to is currently being finalized. We don’t have that information before us and ready for the House at this point. We will be tabling that document, hopefully before the end of our session. In terms of what is being allocated for Fort Liard, I don’t have that level of detail in front of me so I would have to take that question as notice, Mr. Speaker.
