Statements in Debates

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 60)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I wonder if the Minister could tell us about the difference between the estates clerk who is listed on this page and the office of the public trustee who was listed on page 280? On the face of it, it looks like they do the same thing, which is manage the estates of the deceased. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. As a point of clarification, I understood this was meant to be personal health and fitness ventures, rather than team sports. Can the Minister clarify, please?

I wonder if the Minister can assure us that an incident like this is unlikely once these recommendations are implemented to be avoided elsewhere in the NWT, and how soon is full implementation likely to occur?

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions today are for the Minister of Health and Social Services. Yesterday, the Minister released a set of recommendations aimed at a critical incident that took place last year in which the family alleged there had been a cultural bias toward the treatment. So my first question is: to what extent are the recommendations unique to Aklavik and to what extent will the rest of them be applied to the NWT? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. That is good news. How has the department been able to turn this situation around? Thank you.

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mahsi, colleagues. Mr. Speaker, congratulations to the board that operates Northern United Place, and best wishes for many more years of serving the community. Yellowknife would not be the same without you. Mahsi.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 60)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have a question for the Minister that relates to this section in her opening remarks. Apparently, there are some LPs coming on the Civil Emergency Measures Act, the Western Canada Lottery, and the Fire Prevention Act and then later on the Cities, Towns and Villages Act. Could the Minister give us some timing around when these pieces of legislation will be introduced? Thank you.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 60)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, on page 254, under the program category, I see that the Nunavut exchange of services is declining from $2.5 million to $1.1 million, and I am wondering if the Minister can give us a reason for that change? Thank you.
