Question 1054-20(1): Status of Winter Road Resupply to Fort Good Hope Housing Projects

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of housing, and I've got to compliment the Minister of housing and the Minister of ITI previous in supporting the negotiated resupply contract for the Fort Good Hope Construction Centre. Now that we're into that year of mobilization, winter road season, can the Minister provide an update in this situation, the client assisting the contractor, the NDL contractor in Fort Good Hope, on materials coming over the winter road? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you, Member from the Sahtu. Minister responsible for Housing NWT.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you to the Member for the question.

In terms of working with NDL and the client in assisting for materials over the winter road, what we're hoping with Housing NWT is that we work in coordination to make sure that all materials required for the Fort Good Hope Construction Centre, working with the client and working with the business itself, that they make -- that all materials make the winter road and that's a priority. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My second last question to the Minister is will the Minister provide my office with a progress update on mobilization of materials so we can get our young people employed this coming summer construction season. Mahsi cho.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Of course, Mr. Speaker, we're willing to work together with the MLA to provide this important information. I think that updates with dates and times available is good information to share, that he could share to community and businesses along the way. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you, Minister of Housing NWT. Oral questions. Member from Frame Lake.
