Statements in Debates
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I’m not aware of what discussions took place, whether it’s between department and the City of Yellowknife. I’m aware at this stage there’s a number of projects that are being reviewed. We have yet to sign a framework agreement with Canada. Part of that framework agreement comes with their criteria of what’s going to be in there, and we’re prepared to sit down and look at opportunities and options with any party out there when it comes to a number of projects. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the area of our infrastructure plan, much like our O and M, operations and maintenance budget that we put before the Assembly, the process through our business planning stage and main estimates process will be the avenue that we will have all Members have their input on and which projects should be of higher priority than others. We’re going to be faced across the board in every department with trying to come up with a plan that will fit and balance the needs of the Territories and departments and we’re going to have to work with Members of the Assembly.
Now...
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I’m aware that a municipal inspector can do those inspections and make those requirements, or orders in place, as well as the fire marshal’s office. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I don’t have that information available. I will have to contact the department to get that information and make it available to the Member. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, that question, I don’t have that detail; I’ll have to work with the Minister of Justice in that area to see where things are, if there have been additional requests. Again, I point out that our arrangement with the RCMP is one through a contract that sets up the number of officers that are required. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the area of SCAN legislation had much debate and I believe Members of the past Assembly agreed in principle with that piece of work. One of the things we have to do, as the 16th Assembly, is highlight our priorities and we’d be prepared to work along with the Members if that’s the wish and the will of this House. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, as the decision was made by the previous Assembly to proceed. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as I’ve committed to the Member prior in question period, that I would undertake a review of this process of where it’s at today and be prepared to sit down with Members again once I’ve done that work. Thank you.
Mr. Speaker, it is an honour and privilege to stand here today as the Premier of the Northwest Territories. I appreciate the confidence and trust Members of this Assembly and people across the territory have placed in me. Along with the members of my Cabinet, we commit to all northerners that we will take decisions with a view to the future, anchored in a profound sense of responsibility for the kind of society our children and grandchildren will inherit. I am confident we will tackle the difficult choices necessary to position our
territory to have a prosperous and sustainable future, which...
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we’re unable to table that concession agreement, as we’re working with the parties involved. As I’ve committed on the 19th, the Minister responsible will sit with Members around this project. He has done that and provided some information. But the concession agreement itself we’ll not be tabling in this House. The issue of the P3 subject, we’re working with Ottawa to come up with the final parameters of their program and that’s the funding source that was being looked at in that area. For dealing with the Financial Administration Act and the documents that...
