Statements in Debates

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 165)

Thanks, Madam Chair. I move that that clause 4 of Bill 92 be amended by deleting proposed subsection 20.2(2) and substituting the following:

(2) The Minister shall, not later than eight months after the end of a fiscal year, prepare an annual report with respect to the collection and administration of carbon tax under this Act during that year.

Mahsi, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 165)

Yeah, thanks, Madam Chair. Yeah, in my opening remarks, I mentioned how I think it would have been helpful for committee if we had been able to receive more information about what kind of policy options and decisions had been made around different options before, if that could have been shared with committee before we just got the bill, and that the department didn't really share any of that information with us. So we got the bill, and we had a whole bunch of questions and issues around it that I think probably we could have avoided, or at least had a more productive review of it had more...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 165)

Thanks, Madam Chair. I move that paragraph 127(z.01) of Bill 74 be deleted and the following substituted:

(z.01) respecting requirements for wildlife prevention and preparedness plans under subsection 45(2) and the amendment of such plans.

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 164)

Okay, thanks. I'm interested in seeing the Stantec report. Can the Minister provide that to me even if it needs to be confidential, that's fine. But I'd like to see it myself. Thank you.

Merci, Monsieur le President. The Minister of Education, Culture and Employment knows that I am a big fan of the NWT archives and the territorial museum here in Yellowknife, that also needs a name change. I visit the archives once or twice a year and I have always received great service from the staff there. However, I am becoming increasingly worried about the state of whole building constructed in 1977 and our management, or lack thereof, of the archival and documentary heritage of the NWT. I have seen so many studies about the need to replace, expand, and upgrade the building in my almost...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 164)

Okay, thanks. So did that transfer happen within the last five or ten years, or do we know? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 164)

Yeah, thanks, Madam Chair. The Robertson Drive dock, I'd like to know whether that's within the surface lease area that Miramar Con has. Thanks, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 164)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I do have a few things I'd like to know a little bit more about, and perhaps the Minister may get up and actually provide some more information about this. But I'd like to know a little bit more about what this agreement is all about, what level of revenues our government expects to receive, and where those revenues would end up. I suspect they'll probably just go into the consolidated revenue fund which, quite frankly, I always have a little bit of trouble with and, of course, people at finance really hate targeted revenues. But I do think that we owe it to the public...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 164)

Merci, Monsieur le President. I wish to table the following document: It's a Northwest Territories 2023 Wildfire Response Review Request for Proposal. Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 164)

Merci, Monsieur le President. I want to thank the Minister for that. I think it's very important that careful consideration be given to who and how this independent review of fire and emergency management should be conducted. I also realize that this is all very fresh and some of it's still ongoing, but this Assembly and government are coming to the end of its life. I don't want decisions made by this Cabinet alone or even during an election. So can the Minister tell us how and when decisions are going to be made about who and how this independent review of fire and emergency management will...
