Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have a few questions for the Minister of Industry, Tourism and Investment in follow-up to my Member's statement. I would like to ask the Minister: when was the last time government supported prospector training that was held outside the North or South Slave Regions? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

The last government addressed the plans for the department to actually have a winter road from Inuvik by Campbell Lake to Fort Good Hope. I would like to ask the Minister if he knows why those changes were made and, if he needs a little more time for providing that information, can he provide that.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the only reasoning behind these questions during my constituency meeting was for major projects for creating work in our region. What major projects can we foresee in the future for the Beaufort Delta? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Can the Minister elaborate on what planning and timelines are associated with the winter road between Inuvik and Fort Good Hope for an ice road from Tsiigehtchic to Fort Good Hope? Also, a new Mackenzie Valley highway from Inuvik to Wrigley.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 6)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the people in my region are hard-working and self-sufficient. They would like to see more job opportunities so that they can support their families, grow their economy, and contribute to vibrant, thriving communities.

One of the key things this government can do to strengthen our northern communities is to invest in transportation infrastructure. Good roads enable the mobility of our residents, lower the cost of goods, and enhance food security. This is especially true for large infrastructure projects which support new investments, even more construction...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have a few short questions for the Minister of Education. Now, Mr. Speaker, on October 11, 2017, the Minister committed to assessing the Moose Kerr School every year as part of the capital planning process. What did that work look like for 2017-2018 and 2018-2019? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 5)

The Minister answered a part of this question, but I'll ask it anyway: what is the department's current plan for Moose Kerr School?
