What can the Minister do to support Aboriginal governments that want to bring prospector training to their communities?
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, yesterday I called on the government to pursue new major projects that will create jobs for the hardworking people of the Mackenzie Delta. Today, I want to continue on that theme of employment, but at the other end of the scale, the small initiatives and training opportunities that can supplement the benefits of major projects.
Residents of Fort McPherson have an idea. They have told me that prospector training like the sessions government supported in Yellowknife and Hay River last year would deliver a useful skill boost in the region. In its mandate, the...
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.
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...
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, I have a few questions for the Minister of Infrastructure. I would like to ask the Minister: what are the Department of Infrastructure's plans for future infrastructure projects in the Mackenzie Delta? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
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.
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?
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Hamlet of Aklavik, the Aklavik Community Corporation, the Aklavik Indian Band, and the Ehdiitat Gwich'in Council recently came together to discuss a subject of great significance to the community and its residents.
I refer to the planned replacement of Moose Kerr School, a building first constructed almost 50 years ago. This replacement was something highly anticipated by the community of Aklavik. As I have said in the past, it is not just a school; the building is used year-round for community and sporting events, for celebrations, for public talks, and...
