Mr. Speaker, I would like to read into the record the mandate of the NWT Housing Corporation. The mandate of the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation is to assist communities to assume the role of providing housing to their residents and to sustain northern economic development. This is achieved by providing leadership and support to communities in the areas of technical research and services, financial support, information sharing...

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. With that, does the committee agree that consideration of the Minister’s statements…Mr. Yakeleya, sorry, I didn’t see your hand. Mr. Yakeleya.

Total department, $3.4 million.

Thank you. Bill 13 is now ready for third reading. Thank you, committee. What is the next item you would like to go to? I believe we have Minister’s Statement 68-15(3), NWT Housing Corporation: From the Ground Up, Celebrating 30 Years. Any general comments? Mr. Zoe.

Agreed. Thank you. Then we will do that after a short break.
