Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 124)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I am just curious to know what's going to happen at the Liard River ferry crossing day use area. I had an opportunity to park my vehicle there and was quite shocked at how many cars park there in that area at the crossing when they're choppering across. So I am just curious how that will all get incorporated and how large of a day use area are we talking about. Thank you.

Thank you I just want to say I actually am really glad to hear that. When I was doing geotechnical work before, because the drill has to be mobilized into communities and that's Inuvik's likely they drive it in, but in other areas up in the Mackenzie Delta or Mackenzie Valley, you have to barge them in. So I just kudos to the department for trying to, like, you know, make use of drill time and engineers that have already been mobilized to sites. So I'd like to see more of that. Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm done.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm just curious to know, I note that we have four projects here under the longterm care facility; three are in planning. One is actually, I'm guessing, into construction. Can I get an idea of how much is going towards the planning and how much is going towards that construction Thank you.

Thank you. So it's fair to say if we choose the location of the temporary shelter now, we would be looking to purchase the lot next to it and expand over that, sort of do a lot and I see a nodding so I don't bother to go back.

That being said, my question actually was around the geotech for the old visitors centre lot. It does kind of change now that I know that. But is there a potential to use old reports from when they were looking at the geotechnicals because the visitors centre was, you know, sinking or jacking up out of the ground, and I know they did some investigation at the time. So is...

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Can the Minister commit to working with me to try and get the Aviation Innovations Conference to come here sometime in the next couple of years? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. And yes, I know I have not given the Minister a long time to mull over the possibilities of airships so I do appreciate that the department and the Minister is open to this. And I guess where I come from there's sort of twofold here, is that the airships could provide some transportation solutions for us but they are also an economic potential piece. And so can the Minister speak around whether or not she found that the applicability or the ability to attract this type of work as an economic arm or in the cold weather testing area, did she see that as being something...

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, I'm a bit blind so I'm not sure if there's nobody up there. Okay, I am just going to recognize the person who was here yesterday that I missed, and that was Twila I'm not going to say her name right Etchinelle, of Tulita, and I just wanted to say that I missed her and I'm sorry I did. Thank you.

Thank you for that. And I was being a little tongue and cheek, so I do appreciate the deputy minister and Minister indulging me.

I guess my last question is just around the oh, and I'm not going to say this right the park renewable energy retrofits that I can't say the first name of, in Inuvik. Thank you. If I could have some more information there. Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 124)

Thank you for that. I'm just curious to know, then, is that up out of the flood plain given what was happening with the river. Has that been all I'm assuming has all been taken into account but maybe if the Minister or her department could speak to that, that would be great. Thanks.
