MEMBER’S STATEMENT ON INCREASING PUBLIC HOUSING STOCK IN AKLAVIK

Frederick Blake Jr.

Mackenzie Delta

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Recently on a visit to Aklavik, constituents raised the need for more housing units in the community. This government has done a great job replacing units, but we now need to focus on adding units to our small communities.

We have a huge demand for both single units and duplex units in Aklavik because many people are moving back to their home community. I have constituents who have been waiting for up to two years for a unit and today they are still waiting. How can we expect to have healthy communities when we have a shortage of housing?

Thank you. I’ll have questions for the Minister later today. Thank you.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you, Mr. Blake. Member for Tu Nedhe, Mr. Beaulieu.
