Motion 30-20(1): Maintaining Northwest Territories’ Housing Stock
Mr. Speaker, I give notice that on Wednesday, June 5th, 2024, I will move the following motion:
Now therefore I move, second by the Member for Yellowknife North, that the Government of the Northwest Territories immediately provide funding grants to Indigenous governments that wish to complete home inspections in their region;
And further, that the Government of the Northwest Territories provide financial support to Indigenous governments to assist in data collection to support opportunities to leverage federal government funding;
And furthermore, that the Government of the Northwest Territories provide the funding to the Indigenous governments in alignment with the mandate of the 20th Assembly to secure sustainable financial resources for housing programs and projects;
And furthermore, to facilitate this financial support, the Government of the Northwest Territories enter into a Memoranda of Understanding with all interested Indigenous governments and bring forward necessary appropriations by the end of the 2024-2025 fiscal year;
And furthermore, that the Government of the Northwest Territories respond to this motion within 120 days.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
