Okay, thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you for that because it's the lack of support in the community of Tuk for that tourism. It's a lack of support our government is giving them. Using their own money that's taking away from the community for their roads, for the water, their sewage, for sporting events. It's not that we're not creating a new a new expenditure here. It's just what we're not doing. And I see two pages on this of everything else being covered but that. Tuk shouldn't the mayor and the council shouldn't be picking and choosing what they could do with what little they have. It's...
Thank you, Madam Chair. The Minister could correct me if I'm wrong. The RV park is in the hamlet of Tuktoyaktuk, in the hamlet boundaries. So in the hamlet boundaries, the hamlet falls under the GNWT. The GNWT should be providing this service. Am I wrong? Can she correct me? Thank you.
Thank you, Madam Chair. No, just a couple of quick comments. I'd like to thank my colleague, Ms. Nokleby, for bringing it up in regard to the pullouts for the TukInuvik Highway. More importantly is the hamlet of Tuk is still having to pay for the on recovered their costs trying to recover their costs and using hamlet funds to provide rental for RVs that are coming into the community and staffing. I know we put in a visitors centre that we still never really officially opened yet, but it's open and we're thankful for that. But I think I would like to know what's the plan because I don't see...
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. National Day of Truth and Reconciliation is tomorrow, and I'd like to just thank all the communities in my riding and across the territory that's taking part in showing, having remembrance of it. The opportunity and encourage all residents of the Northwest Territories to spend time with their family and friends, to take the time to appreciate each other, get out on the land and talk to elders; most importantly listen to those who want to speak. I'm very proud of my Inuvialuit heritage, my culture. And I'm a residential school survivor and so many of my brothers and my...
Thank you, Madam Chair. Well, that I wouldn't say in the House that like, it's a lie. I had this company sorted out, lined up for them. I went out. I did all the groundwork for them. It would have took six weeks for these portables to be built. And I had them ready for August 15th coming into Tuk if we followed the plan.
Tell me where the money went in regards to being told I'm allowed to have two trailers in the community, not four, on the floor of the House? It's in Hansard. I want these trailers. I want safety of the youth in my community of Mangilaluk School deserve no less than here, no...
Mangilaluk school, page 21. In regards to can I have an update from this Minister in regards to a finished timeline? And I have other questions with that. Thank you, Madam Chair.
Why? I was promised in the House in the Legislative Assembly during a regular sitting day by the Minister of the day, which is sitting across from me, saying we're allowed to have two, two portables, not four, could do two. We had everything sorted out. Why aren't why is that money not in place to get them done? And it's shameful. They all I always say they got a Minister's directive not to be told they could put it down. Why didn't they pull that trigger when they had the chance? What is going on here is not right, and they know it. They got to look at themselves in the mirror. I got to...
Thank you, Madam Chair. Just give you a little bit of history. April, when we left the House, my mayor of Tuk called me. He was asking me to take the lead on it in regards to it. So I sourced out the land. I sourced out the trailers. I sourced everything out. Did all that work for our government. Had a commitment in this House for two trailers. I tried to get four but I only got two.
And all of a sudden when it's time to purchase the trailers for the community because we're they're looking at adult ed taking away from the community. They were at the time. They were going to take away the gym...
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Noah Henry Carpenter an lnuvialuk from Sachs Harbour, Northwest Territories, known by, in lnuvialuit, as lkaahuk. He was the son of Fred Carpenter and Ada Gruben. He was known as Dr. Noah Carpenter. On behalf of his family, friends and relatives, I would like to share a part of his story of his life.
I begin with some excerpts from CBC Canada. Dr. Noah Carpenter was a highly skilled surgeon, the first lnuvialuk surgeon in Canada. He passed away recently, leaving behind a legacy of hard work and inspiration to many fellow Northerners. Originally from Sachs Harbour...
Two trailers, Madam Chair. So make it happen. Thank you.
