Statements in Debates

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 30)

Thank you. My last question in this area is the order in which the money will flow. Is it a first-come-first-approved situation? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you to the Minister for that answer. How do organizations access this money? What's the entry point? Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 30)

Unfortunately, the effect of this Q and A session is to create more confusion. What I understand is that the borders never were closed, even though we were told they were closed, and that the Chief Public Health Officer made a change. For whatever reason, we weren't told until today about that change. There are real things at stake in telling people that the border is closed.

No, nothing further on this section. Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 30)

Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm curious about the item for which there is money for meat inspections. I wasn't aware that there was any domesticated meat in the NWT, so maybe this is for something else. Could the Minister please give me a plain-language explanation? Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 30)

Thank you, Madam Chair. I thank the Minister for that information. Is it possible for the Minister to put that information in a letter and send it to the Standing Committee on Social Development? Thank you.
