Statements in Debates
Yeah, thanks, Madam Chair. I too want to thank the Minister and staff for the commitment on an asset management dashboard. I think we've raised that issue before in the House and look forward to seeing what that looks like.
I'd understood that there was going to be some changes to the standards that we use for well, the amount of chip sealing we could do. Is this the right place to ask about this? And I think something about bridge inspections as well, is this the right place to ask? Thanks, Madam Chair.
Okay. Before the clock runs out completely, can I get a number for what is available to actually spend on capital improvements at the airport and when we're going to start spending some of that money? Thanks, Madam Chair.
Thanks, Madam Chair. On page 265, the energy line, it kind of bounces all over the place, you know, as low as $9 million or about $10 million, as high as almost $20 million. Can someone explain to me what is happening here? Thanks, Madam Chair.
Yeah, thanks, Madam Chair. I support this motion. And just a little bit more background, committee did receive a presentation from the Northwest Territories Association of Communities, and in their written submission and in the discussion that was had with the representatives, this particular ask is based on what actually happens in the Yukon. That's how they calculated what they would like to receive to help offset and mitigate the impacts of the carbon tax. And I'm not going to attempt to explain what kind of impacts they anticipate. I think my colleague from Kam Lake did an excellent job on...
Okay, thanks, Madam Chair. That's great. When can we see that written policy? Thank you.
Thanks, Madam Chair. It's not that I don't want to hear my friends from Infrastructure, I just can't talk on behalf of the committee because we haven't even talked about it. So a letter with some information, and then I think committee could look at it and decide whether we want to, you know, get a briefing or something. But, no, I appreciate the Minister offering to share some more information on that with us, that's great. And I don't think I have any further questions on this activity. Thanks, Madam Chair.
Thanks, Madam Chair. I guess I find it necessary to respond to some of the things we just heard from the finance minister, but I also want to put this recommendation in context in terms of what the committee heard and saw. So, you know, Regular MLAs, we asked for this correspondence between the Minister and the federal government. We asked for that in July. We didn't get it until January, months later, months later after repeated requests. Repeated requests, Madam Chair. I've reviewed it, and of course I can't talk about it in any great detail here but what I saw was some pretty I think the...
Thanks, Madam Chair. Yeah, look, I'm not asking about planning. I'm asking about a policy that says MTS will deliver fuel first to communities. Anything else comes after that. Is there any written policy, directive, whatever you want to call it, that says that's what MTS is going to do? Thanks, Madam Chair.
Thanks, Madam Chair. I guess I can't probably ask whether that can be shared with the standing committee. But if there's some terms of reference or some kind of summary of what's taking place and a timeline, can the Minister commit to share that with standing committee? Thanks, Madam Chair.
Merci, Madam la Presidente. Committee wishes to deal with Committee Report 4519(2), Report on the Review of Bill 60; and, Tabled Document 81319(2), 20232024 Main Estimates, with Department of Infrastructure. Mahsi, Madam Chair.
