Statements in Debates
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I too will be supporting this motion. The compassion that was shown in this room by the presenter and the seconder is felt by all of us I'm sure.
I just want to make sure that there is no barriers with the ownership. Things are done with oversight, things are done in a neutral basis and, you know, because many times when we say we're going to do something great and wonderful, we don't want no thresholds for sure. And, you know, we have to really think about how important this is and how important it is for the people that are going to receive these homes and then how...
Mr. Speaker, I strongly believe it is time that the NWT review its police service agreement with the RCMP. The RCMP are overpaid, underworked, and need greater accountability, transparency, and oversight on their conduct.
Does the Minister have the authority and the will to review the terms and conditions of the existing Territorial Police Service Agreement. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Mr. Speaker, can the Minister tell us if the RCMP investigates their own misconduct cases. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my statement today is a little bit different. To begin my statement today, I want to share a quote from Gandhi when he described our modern western society as one of wealth without work, pleasure without conscience, knowledge without character, commerce without mortality, size without sacrifice, and politics without principle.
Mr. Speaker, for my Member's statement today, I want to talk about logical decisionmaking and logical thinking.
One of the biggest things that I have noticed since becoming an MLA is that every single decision that government makes...
In favour.
Mr. Speaker, the standard length of time that an RCMP officer stays in the community is usually about two to three years.
Can the Minister tell us how long a commanding officer of Gdivision remains in their position, and what is the criteria for hiring a commanding officer? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are for the Minister of Justice.
Can the Minister of Justice tell us how many RCMP misconduct cases have been reported and investigated within the NWT? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Madam Chair. You know, economic recovery starts at home, okay. It wasn't an economic opportunity for a small airline to get some help in the fourth phase and now in the fifth phase. Economic recovery is for those people who live and reside in the Northwest Territories.
We are constantly – constantly doing the wrong thing when it comes to these kind of initiatives where we're always making sure that the southern interest is always looked after. And, you know, that's not okay.
When you have people in a community, like Fort Smith, with over 50 employees still there, all living and...
Thank you, Madam Chair. The Government of the Northwest Territories did not spend $1 million of support that was supposed to go to regional airlines by March 31st, 2022. And so they've asked for an extension of an extra year to get the money out.
I want to know why these funds weren't spent before March 31st, 2022?
