Statements in Debates
Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. Minister Lafferty.
Thank you, Minister Lafferty. Moving on with the second round of questions on this activity, I have Ms. Bisaro.
Thank you, Mr. Blake. Minister Lafferty.
Page 10-35, information item, details of funding allocated to education authorities. Any questions? Ms. Bisaro.
Thank you, Mr. Blake. Committee, we’re actually going to take general comments collectively here and we’ll ask the Minister to respond in one opportunity as we discussed earlier in the process. With that, I have Mr. Menicoche.
As I mentioned last week, we are also “sugarholics.” So much so the average person consumes 141 pounds of sugar a year and we are getting worse.
Our GNWT’s successful Drop the Pop campaign needs to be complemented by a multi-pronged approach aimed exclusively on prevention, but not a tax program and definitely not a disincentive policy.
We need to inform our people of the poisonous aspects of sugar, high fructose corn syrup and fructose in our diet. This education has to start in our homes, in our daycares, in our soon-to-be junior kindergartens, in our schools and in the workplace, otherwise...
Thank you, Mr. Moses. A motion is on the floor. To the motion. Mr. Moses.
Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. We will treat that as a comment. 10-26, activity summary, labour development and standards, grants and contributions, $409,000. Agreed?
Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. For that we will go to Deputy Minister Eggenhofer.
I appreciate the deputy minister clarifying that. I’ll use that in conjunction when we do this next year. I think, the net fiscal benefit monitoring falls under this policy, and I believe my question has to do with the amount of benefit that is being transferred to the Aboriginal parties from resource revenues, and I believe, according to the budget address and according to the activity, I believe it’s $15 million being set aside in this budget. Can we get an idea, the $15 million that is in here, what percentage of that is of our resource revenues for the time period?
