Statements in Debates

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 25)

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I notice that there is a contribution that took place in 2014-15, Management of drinking water in the NWT for $50,000, but there’s no further funding provided for that purpose. Was that money that we received from another order of government, or are we continuing to support the function in some other way? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 25)

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I am just looking at the environmental liabilities line here. Back in 2014-15, it was $25 million and change. The remaining numbers are $2 million. Can someone explain to me what is happening there? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 25)

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Sorry, I just didn’t hear the last few words about why the payroll tax projections show a decrease in revenues. Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 25)

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I am just trying to understand the scope of this research. Is the department looking at a total review of the CTV Act or just this specific very small change that is being requested to allow the tax-based municipalities to have the authority to use local improvement charges for this very specific purpose? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 25)

Thanks, Mr. Chair, and I apologize. I should have asked, the Northwest Territories Heritage Fund is on this page, and it’s in our mandate that there’s going to be a review of that legislation undertaken. I’m just wondering if the Minister can tell us when that is going to begin. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 24)

Thanks, Mr. Chair. So I'm sort of back to another question I had asked about how these reductions-- the impacts of these reductions are going to be monitored and tracked in terms of access to justice. Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 24)

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Yes, I wasn't asking about the low-water level, I was asking about the Minister's opening remarks, and there was a one-time enhancement to Arctic Energy Alliance to support residential and commercial energy conservation and efficiency programs. So just wondering where that shows up in the departmental budget. Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 24)

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Look, I'm not trying to push this too hard, but can the Minister commit to talking about that plan with the standing committee when he brings forward information about how the court library is going to transition into the research centre? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 24)

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I don't want to prolong this, but could maybe the Minister or the staff get back and let me know what the year ends were for 2015-16 for those programs? They can do that offline. Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 24)

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Under legal registries, there's a reduction of over $100,000. Can someone from the department explain that? Thanks, Mr. Chair.
