Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 26)

Thank you, Madam Chair. Yes, I commit to looking into whether we can create that policy. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 26)

The union and ORSI have recently reached agreement on terms and conditions of their memorandums of understanding for 2020. PSAC is the only union that hasn't completed the 2020 agreement with ORSI. Given the track record that ORSI has had with the three maritime unions, we don't foresee any issues with PSAC. GNWT is not part of the union negotiation process. However, the delivery of goods and services will be well under way by the time PSAC negotiations start. PSAC members work the yard. Vessel crews are under two different unions: that's the Seafarers International Union and the Canadian...

Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm going to ask Ms. St-Denis to answer that. That's in her department. Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 26)

Thank you, Madam Chair. We support communities to have their own employees within the community to do their own economic development, so that money goes to regional governments for their own hiring in that area. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 26)

Thank you, Madam Chair. Yes, I most definitely want to consult and engage. I had to drill once and had everybody come and tell me that nobody wanted the health centre where I was drilling, and it was very, very uncomfortable for me; so I am well aware of what happens when a community does not have buy-in to a location. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 26)

Thank you, Madam Chair. I would say that we, as the North, love to make it all one person's responsibility all of the time, and I will just leave it at that. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 26)

Yes. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 26)

Thank you, Madam Chair. This is part of what we're doing under food security review, as well, too, with the agricultural association that's being created. I would imagine these are all conversations we will be having with them, that we would then be looking at their inputs on how do we navigate that line because I would not want to, any which way, shape or form, discourage anybody from growing food, or if they can share that food with others, whether that be small scale selling at a farmers' market versus the success story we were just discussing. We need to first figure out what is the...

Thank you, Madam Chair. We'll have that report to you within the next four to six weeks. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 26)

Thank you, Madam Chair. We definitely can look at that and review. I did just want to point out that we are only one of two jurisdictions in all of Canada that does require tourism licences. The reason we do so, there are a few things. It's not cheap to come and do a tour in the Northwest Territories, so, if we don't have some sort of form of regulating the tourism operators up here, the damage that potentially could happen to our reputation as a destination would be insurmountable, I think, if we were to have people operating willy-nilly. I guess I shouldn't say that anyone who is not...
