Thank you, Madam Chair. I just have a couple of questions just for clarify and for the record. The rehabilitation and re you know, having inmates going back into society, a lot of the programs that were in place before have disappeared. Some of the programs, like some of the inmates in the Fort Smith facilities were able to work in a workplace. That's not happening anymore. And I'm wondering why that was taken away. They used to go clean all the yards for all the seniors, you know, and all these other smaller things. And it happened for years. Then all of a sudden, it disappeared. And I'd...

Mr. Speaker, I know this current NTPC Minister was not the Minister when the decision was made to appoint deputy ministers to the board of directors; however, can the Minister tell us if Cabinet or NTPC has anticipated that it would be seven years and counting for the NTPC board of directors to be solely deputy ministers? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, for my statement today I am going to join my colleagues in talking about the various aspects of energy in the NWT. First, I want to mention an issue that has been brought up by several Members throughout this Assembly, including myself, and that issue is about the board of directors at the NTPC Power Corp.

Mr. Speaker, in May of 2016, the Minister at the time for NTPC had decided to dissolve NTPC's board of directors and replace the sixperson board with deputy ministers from various NWT departments. The rationale for that decision was to cut costs at NTPC...

Okay. I like the term that was used by the Minister when he was referring to the rental office, "administrative fairness." That's a really incredible term. Administrative fairness is with the rental office it's mostly private people that are being told that they have to keep people in their homes over a certain period of time even though it's their home or their rental facility but yet we, as a government, don't follow that whole situation when it comes to NWT Housing. If someone is going to be thrown out, it's thrown out that day, close all the windows and put them on the street and they don...

Mr. Speaker, can the Minister tell us, based on current capital needs assessment figures, when does ECE anticipate that JBT School is expected to be replaced? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 141)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in June 2021, I questioned the Minister of ECE about the state of JBT School in Fort Smith. Today I am going to carry on with that questioning. At the time, the Minister stated that the last time a technical assessment was done to JBT was in 2005, almost 20 years ago.

Can the Minister tell us if a technical assessment of JBT was done in the last two years or if one is planned to be done soon? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
