Statements in Debates
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’d also like to welcome Melody McLeod because she is much more than Mrs. Premier, Mrs. McLeod has been involved in Metis politics, she’s very involved in the Catholic Church as a lay leader and has contributed much to the Northwest Territories in and of her own right. Thank you.
I’m sorry. I hope my comments didn’t discourage you from continuing. I have Mr. Moses next.
Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Minister Miltenberger.
Thank you, Mr. Dolynny. Minister Miltenberger.
Thank you, Mr. Blake, for that question. I just want to get the committee’s concurrence here because I know what Mr. Blake said, that we’ve gone from the $5 million on this page to really debating the whole Inuvik-Tuk highway. Mr. Blake has indicated he’s just following suit because other people have decided that this is the go/no-go, this is the lynch pin on this project, so this is the appropriate place to have this discussion. I just want to get committee’s concurrence that everybody is still cool with this. It’s not specifically related to the $5 million, the questions. Mr. Miltenberger.
Just before we proceed, I’d like to recognize in the visitors gallery today a former Premier of the Northwest Territories, Nellie Cournoyea; a former colleague, Member of the Legislative Assembly for Range Lake, Ms. Sandy Lee; and, of course, our federal Minister of Health, Leona Aglukkaq; and Mayor Gruben from Tuktoyaktuk as well. Welcome.
