Statements in Debates
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...
Okay, thanks. So did that transfer happen within the last five or ten years, or do we know? Thanks, Madam Chair.
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.
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...
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.
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...
Yeah, okay, thanks. Yeah, so there is some of our own money going in here. This is one that's experienced very significant slippage. Quite frankly, I just don't think we should be doing it for a whole variety of other reasons; I might get into some of that. But at what point will this project be in by the end of 20242025; what's the status of the work going to be and what will we get out of the 2 or $3 million of our own money that we're putting into it? Thank you.
Merci, Monsieur le President. My questions are for the Minister of Environment and Climate Change who also conveniently serves as the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs.
Later today, I'll table a request for proposal for a Northwest Territories 2023 Wildfire Response Review. It appears to be a standard afterincident review, but I just want to get it on the public record that this is not the comprehensive, independent review of fire and emergency management that we've talked about in this House. So can the Minister confirm that there will be that there will be a comprehensive and...
Yeah, thanks, Madam Chair. I want to thank my colleague from Yellowknife North for raising a number of concerns and issues, particularly around the Taltson project. But I guess I just want to go on record as well. This is the area of the capital budget that I have the most difficulty with, and folks in this House are not going to be surprised to hear me say that I think many of these projects are very dubious value. I don't think they're all it's not possible for them to all go ahead at the same time. I think it was a mistake to try to say to the public that we're going to get these three...
