Question 25-15(3): Update On New Housing Re-investment Proposal

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question today is to the Minister responsible for the NWT Housing Corporation. It is in regard to a proposal submitted last year in regard to flat rent scale rates for public housing tenants of the Northwest Territories. The intent of that proposal is to increase this from pro forma from $2.7 million rent recoveries to $5.4 million, which would be reinvested back into economic housing strategies. I will ask the Minister then, would he provide this housing update of that proposal? Thank you.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Minister responsible for the NWT Housing Corporation, Mr. McLeod.

Return To Question 25-15(3): Update On New Housing Re-investment Proposal

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Member is referring, I believe, to a submission to the previous Minister. I don’t have that level of detail. I have not seen the document. I will have to take it as notice, Mr. Speaker.
