QUESTION 502-16(5): INVESTIGATION OF AWARDING OF HOUSING CONTRACTS IN INUVIK REGION

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are directed to the Minister of Finance. I’d like to ask the Minister of Finance if there can be a financial audit done in regard to the capital housing allocations in the Inuvik region and exactly why those allocations are not being spent in the communities they’re earmarked for and they’re benefitting the community of Inuvik by way of all the contractors receiving all the contracts. Could you check into that and see if there is a possibility of investigation to how those dollars are being let?

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. The honourable Minister responsible for Finance, Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. That’s a detailed question and I will review Hansard and, therefore, take the question as notice.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. The honourable Member for Hay River South, Mrs. Groenewegen.
