Statements in Debates

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 14)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the Minister's answer, but it doesn't really answer the question. So how does this money help the unsettled land claims? I'm missing something. Could the Minister please clarify? Thank you.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 14)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. What I took away from that is that there is $84,000 available. If all of that money is spent then that is a new ballgame in terms of where the funding is going to come from. Do I have that right? Thank you.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 14)

That's everything. Thank you.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 14)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I am wondering if the Minister can provide a little more detail on this. How much money has been set aside? It looks like the same amount of money as every other year going back to 2016-2017. Could the Minister provide a bit more explanation of how much more money is available for offering women support who want to get into politics? Thank you.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 14)

Just one follow-up question, please, Mr. Chair: what is the status of the recreational land use plan for Yellowknife? Thank you.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 14)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just to confirm, the effect of this consolidation is that there is one $50,000 grant coming out of the executive. Is that correct? Thank you.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 14)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, can I confirm with the Minister that this is the right segment of the budget in which to ask the question about the agriculture strategy implementation? Thank you.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 14)

Mr. Speaker, my questions are for the Minister responsible for the Housing Corporation. Mr. Speaker, the Housing Corporation's budget that we were debating in the main estimates is going to decrease in this fiscal year, yet the action plan the Minister has produced says that there will be spending of $20 million in the next fiscal year. My question is: where is that money from the action plan going to come from and when? Thank you.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 14)

Thank you very much to the Minister for his responses. Nothing further.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 14)

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, at the end of the last sitting the Minister responsible for the NWT Housing Corporation tabled her long-awaited response to persistent core housing need experienced by one in five households in the NWT. I put forward a motion in June 2016 with the support of my colleagues that called on the Housing Corporation to reduce core need in housing by 2 per cent a year for four years. This investment will bring the NWT in line with national levels. The motion called for a plan to achieve this goal. The Towards Level Ground report is the basis of that plan.

Mr. Speaker...
