Question 580-20(1): Request for Meeting in Fort Resolution Concerning Housing

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In collaboration, I just want to ask my question to the Deputy Premier.
You heard my statement a little bit earlier today in regards to the issues in Fort Resolution. I wanted to invite the Premier, perhaps in April, to a community meeting in Fort Resolution with the housing Minister, RCMP, etcetera. So I just want to see if we could get a commitment to plan a meeting together probably in April sometime. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Okay, Member from Tu Nedhe-Wiilideh, the Deputy Premier cannot make a commitment for the Premier so if you're asking for the Deputy Premier to come and have that meeting, then she can answer the question. Member from Tu Nedhe-Wiilideh.

Yeah, thank you, Mr. Speaker. Either the Premier or Deputy Premier. But in this case, the Deputy Premier. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I had a very lovely visit in Fort Resolution last year when I was there, so -- and I can't make commitments obviously for the Premier or his schedule. I know I've already got a visit myself planned in April but certainly happy to see -- Fort Resolution is not that hard for us to get to. If we can work together and find a date in April, I'm happy to try. And if I can't, it may well be that the Premier's able to. But, again -- so let's try and see if we can make some dates work. I know that the housing Minister's nodding as I'm speaking, so at the very least I expect she may be planning something. So happy to try, Mr. Speaker. I don't have my calendar in front of me, so I'm just hesitating to commit before I know whether it's even within the realm of possibility. But as I said, happy -- happy to go back. It was a lovely visit last time I was there.

Yeah, thank you, Mr. Speaker. And I'd just like to maybe also invite the Minister for --
Deputy Premier you were talking to, so you -- thank you. Member from Tu Nedhe-Wiilideh, you want to be put back on? Okay, I'll put you back on. Thank you. I'll put you back on.
