Statements in Debates

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I understand the need for new fiscal arrangements and to make those a priority. I guess what I am less sure about is the need to spend more money trying to revive the dormant offshore. Can the Minister confirm that that is not something that this office will be doing? Thank you.

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So I had the impression that one of the tasks of this office and one that would be very important is to do any problem solving around the flow of money from federal government's infrastructure pot, this $600 million that is coming to the GNWT in the next 10 years. Is this a task that this office is going to undertake and on a priority basis? Thank you.

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I just have a question that relates to 911. Could the Minister remind me about the fees? At what point will the fees cover the costs of 911, or will they not do that at all? Thank you.

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, can the Minister please confirm that just one person is being hired for this role? Thank you.

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So, as I understand it, the idea is to look at alternatives to, sort of, open field agriculture in order to maximize the land that is available for agricultural purposes. Is that correct? Thank you.

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

That is everything. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I understand this is the department in which I can ask the question about the money allocated to the agriculture strategy implementation. What role is the department playing in the implementation of the strategy with the $150,000 allocated? Thank you.

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the clarification. Historically, I thought that money came out of the status of women council, and that figure hasn't been raised since 2016-2017. It is good news that there is a specific amount of money available for the campaign schools. I just want to confirm now that I understand what the Minister said previously, which is that if all that money is spent then there is an opportunity to obtain more through a supplementary appropriation. Do I have that right? Thank you.

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I'd like to ask the witness how this information has been shared with people who have property on the Ingraham Trail, like I do. Thank you.

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. My next question is about the segment of programs that are listed under women's advisory. I note that, on page 118, the amount of money that is provided to each of these initiatives has been static over a period of time. I am wondering how the government is going to meet its mandate commitment to increase the participation of women in politics without increasing the availability of money to initiatives that would make that happen. Thank you.
