Written Question 7-18(2): Heating Issues Related to the Joe Greenland Centre

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have four questions for the Minister of Housing. I’d like to ask the Minister what type of heating system is in place at the Joe Greenland Centre in Aklavik. Also, what was the additional cost of electricity due to the use of space heaters by elders in the Joe Greenland Centre from September 1, 2015 to June 1, 2016? Also, what is the expected cost to the GNWT to install additional radiators in the recently built Joe Greenland Centre? Finally, please provide any analysis done on the feasibility of using a wood pellet heating system in the Joe Greenland Centre, including results. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
