Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 96)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, Northview Real Estate Investment Trust, or REIT, was formed in 1986 by former GNWT civil servants that eventually evolved into a publiclytraded company allowing individual investors to buy shares in real estate portfolios. Northview holds thousands of residential and commercial units in Yellowknife and Iqaluit. Sources vary on how much they own, but it's estimated to be between 50 to 80 percent of the rental market.

In 2018, 28 percent of Northview's operating income was derived in northern Canada. REITs are recognized as financialized landlords and the...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thanks for that answer. And I guess to the I'm assuming that with an apprenticeship program that it's not always tied specifically to the employer but is an overarching program, and I see people nodding their heads "yes", so that's that's good. I guess that was where my concern is.

I'm just looking at the training and support workshops line. You know, there's only the 2,000 spent in 20202021 and then, you know, back up to 250 I'm assuming that these are these numbers are so low because of COVID? Could the Minister confirm that, from the 20202021 actuals? Thanks.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yeah, I think that this could play a really large piece back into sort of more of the traditional economy and such and then as well as providing those supplies. And I just see that I feel that our fur and our crafts and all of that is just a really untapped resource for the territory that we need to be looking at more. So I guess I just want to say that I support seeing more expansion of this type of a program and then along the lines of what my colleagues were saying around the tanning and such and the ability to produce hides that we talked about the other day. So more...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 96)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I just have some questions about the fair marketing revolving fund. I note that there's a 1,500 a year sorry, 1.5 million a year authorized limit. Is that a sorry, yeah, is that a cap that's based solely on, like, supply? Or could we actually look to increase this, or would we then be looking at a draw down of animals and such that it's not sustainable? Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 96)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I guess just further along these lines, has there ever actually been incidents of caribou or wildlife being harassed by drilling companies that have been charged or that the Minister is aware of? Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 96)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So I guess sorry, just one sec here. So under the in the grants contributions transfer, the water regulatory line there, is that just sort of a status quo amount, so that's not that they're like, you're not developing new ones, that money's not going to new development; it's more just for the application of the regulatory guidelines? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 96)

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, I wish to table a document entitled "Mind and Spirit: Promoting Mental Health and Addictions Recovery in the Northwest Territories Child and Youth Mental Wellness Action plan 2017 2022". Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 96)

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Yeah, that's fine; I do recognize that it's a complex situation. As I spoke to earlier in this session, constituents want to see social programming available on site in their building such was the model at YWCA's Rockhill House. So is the department working to identify spaces within existing leases and buildings to be used for integrated service delivery and social programming? Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 96)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just want to make one last comment as I appreciate the Minister's comments around the training and awareness. A new thing that I recently had a constituent make me more aware of where we're often talking about traumainformed approaches to things, but I think we also need to have an FASD approach to our work and it's going to be something that you're now going to start to hear me saying to a lot of the Ministers on that side of the room, that just as much as we are affected by trauma in the North we're affected by fetal alcohol syndrome as well. So I think that there's...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 96)

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I would also like to ask questions of the Minister of Housing. In the government renewable strategy process that the Housing Corporation is undertaking, how is the government going to work with the private sector to address the skyrocketing cost of housing in the North? Is there is a plan to diversify where those leases are held or to build new housing units? Thank you.
