A work site connected to Rocky Simpson, the heavily indebted MLA for Hay River South, is up for sale. 

The property, made up of three adjoining lots, is listed . The asking price is $699,999 plus GST. The Century 21 listing advises that the Vale Island property SA国际影视传媒渉as so much to offer.SA国际影视传媒� 

SA国际影视传媒 was unable to verify ownership for two of three lots but one SA国际影视传媒� lot 29 SA国际影视传媒� is listed with the NWT Land Titles Office under Concept Consulting, a company owned by Simpson.

The property is where Simpson's other company, Concept Energy, was working to build 19 modular homes after being awarded a contract by NWT Housing Corporation in 2016. The contract was revoked the following year after Concept Energy failed to deliver on the contract.

Last June, NWT Superior Court Judge Karan Shaner ordered Simpson and his companies to repay nearly $2 million to GNWT lending firm NWT Business Development Investment Corporation (BDIC) after failing to pay back a loan dating back to 2011.

Simpson didn't publicly reveal his debt during the territorial election campaign in September. The revelation didn't come until five days after the Oct. 1 election. Simpson beat his opponent, Industry Minister Wally Schumann, by a vote of 350 to 322.

Other media outlets have reported since the election that Simpson - a claim that SA国际影视传媒 has been unable to confirm through official sources.

On Monday BDIC was supplied with a list of questions that included whether a formalized repayment plan has been initiated, to what extent the properties sale would contribute to debt repayment, and when the full debt is expected to be paid back.

Officials with the GNWT corporation refused to comment this week.

"The BDIC doesn't comment on individual client files directly with media," said Brad Poulter, manager of business services and communications.

SA国际影视传媒 also reached out to Canada Revenue Agency, to whom Simpson allegedly owes more than $1 million, but the agency declined to comment on questions concerning Simpson's tax arrears due to confidentiality provisions in the Income Tax Act.

TJ Madigan, communications manager with the agency, stated in an email that it is the responsibility of the indebted party to contact the agency if they feel that cannot repay the debt.

"The CRASA国际影视传媒檚 collection policy is to resolve outstanding tax debts in a mutually satisfactory way," Madigan stated. "We encourage taxpayers to contact us and work together to develop suitable payment arrangements based on their ability to pay, if they cannot pay the total amount owing immediately."

If the indebted person fails to co-operate with a new payment arrangement or refuses to pay, "legal action may be taken," Madigan stated.

"These actions could include garnishment of wages or other income sources, seizure and sale of assets, or any other means under any applicable statutes or laws to collect an amount owing."

According to the Century 21 listing, the 189,900 square-foot sized land on 102 Avenue is zoned by the Town of Hay River as "T-Transportation."
