Statements in Debates

Debates of , 17th Assembly, 4th Session (day 20)

I think I’m getting it. If I were to ask what our current environmental liabilities are, knowing that the fund is about $44 million would tell me that that’s what our current liabilities are right now. Is that correct? If not, maybe I could find out what the current environmental liabilities are.

Sorry, Mr. Chair, what page are we on?

Debates of , 17th Assembly, 4th Session (day 20)

Thank you. Now, the Inuvik gas contribution I see $5 million last year, $5.9 million proposed for this year. What is the status of that? Are we expecting that to continue as well? Thank you.

Debates of , 17th Assembly, 4th Session (day 20)

Thanks to the Minister. What does that mean? What is the intent of this office? What would good results look like?

Debates of , 17th Assembly, 4th Session (day 20)

So are we, just for my clarification, booking the value of the estimated cost of remediation or are we booking dollars to pay for the remediation, if you get my drift.

Debates of , 17th Assembly, 4th Session (day 20)

Thanks for that information. And of course, there’s Deline, which is, I think, close to a final agreement, in the Sahtu. With the Tlicho, I believe they have the ability to draw down powers. Have we reached that point? Are they at the point where they’re ready to do that or what’s the situation on that front?

Debates of , 17th Assembly, 4th Session (day 20)

Thank you to the Minister for that. Just in terms of cultural programming, I know that’s important in our system. Do we provide that in all our corrections facilities? Is the Minister comfortable with the degree of cultural programming that we’re offering?

Debates of , 17th Assembly, 4th Session (day 20)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I would just like to get on top of this business. The contributions to the NWT Power Corporation are not territorial power subsidy funding. Am I right in that assertion? Thank you.

Debates of , 17th Assembly, 4th Session (day 20)

Thank you. Yes, the Minister is outlining many of the reasons that I support this project, but I’m striving for transparency here, as I’m sure he realizes. So, yes, this will generate revenues once it’s paid off. I’ve had a lot of investments on the basis of that. Some of them manage to get paid off and others didn’t. How long do you think, is there a forecast on paying this off? I realize in a full costing accounting approach that, in fact, there are many benefits that should accrue very early on the moment that things are hooked up here. Thank you.

Debates of , 17th Assembly, 4th Session (day 20)

By bilateral, we mean the Aboriginal government and ourselves. Is that correct?
