MOTION 2-16(6): OPTIONAL RENT SCALE IN PUBLIC HOUSING

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I give notice that on Thursday, March 10, 2011, I will move the following motion: I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Tu Nedhe, that this Legislative Assembly strongly recommends that the Minister responsible for the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation establish an optional maximum rent scale for public housing in communities with no real private market, with rents set as follows:

$1,200 per month for four or five-bedroom units;

$1,000 per month for a three-bedroom unit;

$800 per month for a two-bedroom unit; and

$600 per month for a one-bedroom unit.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you, Mr. Jacobson. The honourable Member for Frame Lake, Ms. Bisaro.
