Statements in Debates

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 25)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just a question of clarification. We’ve heard some discussion about the new NWT Child Benefit, but looking at this page, it doesn’t look like it’s new, or else it isn’t added in here. I’m not sure which it is. This is the one that’s going to be coordinated with the Canada Child Benefit. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. My next questions have to do with community governance. I understand that there were some financial operational reviews conducted in the last fiscal year. I am wondering what the findings are of those reviews and whether there are any other reviews planned for this year. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I think this might be the right page to ask the question, what progress is being made on the revolving funds for communities to assist residents with energy efficient measures. My understanding is there would be a legislative change required. What is the status of that? Thank you.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 25)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. There is, of course, this Gas Tax Fund on this page. It was my understanding that there was going to be a draft strategy that will or has been created that will outline how this fund will be spent. Could the Minister please give us an update on the status of the strategy and when it will be made available to the public? Thank you.

Thank you to the Minister for that response. If all the qualified applications were totalled, how much money would that request be, just for interest’s sake? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. It is the same criteria as when this program was housed in the Executive. Is that correct? Thank you.
